Our next meeting will be this Thursday, March 19th, and we'll have a presentation from Voxeo. Voxeo is a local company which creates enterprise Voice over IP services, and they've invited us down to their offices to show off their brand new Ruby API. During this talk they'll demonstrate how to use Ruby for everything from conferencing and Interactive Voice Response (IVR) to Instant Messaging bots and SMS self service. Pretty cool!
We'll be meeting downtown Thursday at "Urban Flats" (http://bit.ly/Ei2tC) at 6 PM for dinner sponsored by Voxeo, and at around 7 PM we'll be taking the elevators up to Voxeo's offices in the building. Anyone who shows up before 6:30 PM gets FREE dinner, thanks to Voxeo.
If you show up after 7 PM you'll need to give us a call to let you in (407-754-5517).
See you Thursday, should be a fun night!
Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

Cloudflare has recently announced new infrastructure designed to run large AI language models across its global network. As these models rely on costly hardware and must handle large volumes of incoming and outgoing text, Cloudflare separates the model's input processing and output generation onto different optimized systems.

DuckDB Labs recently released DuckLake 1.0, a data lake format that stores table metadata in a SQL database rather than across many files in object storage. The first implementation is available as a DuckDB extension and includes catalog-stored small updates, improved sorting and partitioning options, and compatibility with Iceberg-style data features.

JobRunr has introduced ClawRunr, an open-source Java AI agent for scheduled, recurring, and one-off background tasks. Formerly JavaClaw, it runs on users' hardware and combines conversational interaction with persistent task execution, MCP tools, browser automation, and web, Telegram, and Discord channels, while using JobRunr for scheduling, retries, and monitoring.

Confluent introduces a new approach in Apache Kafka that moves schema IDs from message payloads to record headers, aiming to simplify schema governance and evolution. The update integrates with Schema Registry, improves compatibility across serialization formats, and reduces coupling between data and metadata in event-driven architectures.
