Hello OrlandoJUG
We just got confirmation that Brion Vibber, CTO of Wikipedia, will be in to give a talk this month!
Please be sure to RSVP because we may have as few as 20 seats. Here's the place to RSVP - and you must sign up as a member of Codetown first in order to even see the RSVP.
All the best,

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.
