This month we'll meet again at Canvs. We had a fantastic time last month. Ken Krueger gave a great presentation on Spring Boot. Several new folks showed up. What a super venue.
I wrote up a little description of Canvs here: http://www.codetown.us/group/orlandojug/forum/topics/canvs-in-our-future
Please tell your friends and colleagues so we have a good turnout. And, please update your Codetown profiles! Photos, bio info, location is nice to know and don't forget about your blog. And, be sure to actually join the OJUG Town group here on Codetown so you'll be easy to spot and reach. You can use the invite feature, too!
I'm at Solid www.solidcon.com and Greg Groves will lead the meeting. We'll have one of our great open spaces meetups. What's an open spaces meetup you say? That's where people are given 10-15 minutes to present a subject they find interesting for the group. The fact that people get a chance to talk about a project or subject they know about rather than a eyes forward presentation is always, and I mean always a great time.
As always, I hope to see you there and I hope to see many new faces. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
All the best,
Michael Levin

Since the Android group is also meeting at Canvs tonight, we've decided to combine the meetups. See the Android Developer meetup page at http://www.meetup.com/Central-Florida-Android-Developers-Group/even...
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.

To improve search and recommendation user experiences, Uber migrated from Apache Lucene to Amazon OpenSearch to support large-scale vector search and better capture search intent. This transition introduced several infrastructure challenges, which Uber engineers addressed with targeted solutions.

Uber’s Ceilometer framework automates infrastructure performance benchmarking beyond applications. It standardizes testing across servers, workloads, and cloud SKUs, helping teams validate changes, identify regressions, and optimize resources. Future plans include AI integration, anomaly detection, and continuous validation.

Beth Anderson discusses the "power distance index" and its critical role in communication. Using the Korean Air Flight 801 tragedy as a case study, she explains the dangers of hierarchy-driven silence. She shares actionable frameworks for building the 4 stages of psychological safety, implementing reverse mentoring, and using PRs as tools for knowledge sharing rather than gatekeeping.

Spotify has introduced the Experiments with Learning (EwL) metric on top of its Confidence experimentation platform to measure how many tests deliver decision-ready insights, not just how many “win.” EwL captures both the quantity and quality of learning across product teams, helping them make faster, smarter product decisions at scale. The outcome must support one action: ship, abort, or iterate.
