Event Description

Hello OrlandoJUG!

Tonight is our monthly OJUG meeting. I'm just back from a very exciting conference called OSCON - the O'Reilly Open Source Conference in Portland, OR. 

I'm going to go over what I learned at OSCON tonight and hit on some current trends I became aware of at the conference. 
There were thousands of people at the conference. Plus, there were about 10 tracks which equated to 10 talks per hour, 8 hours a day for 5 days! Overwhelming? Nah - it was exciting and a bunch of fun. I learned so much about current trends in computing. And, the after-events - the BOF's (birds of a feather sessions) and the mixers were informative, as well.
I made lots of new contacts, learned enough to keep my grey matter hopping for a long time, and can't wait to convey all I can to you. 
So, please RSVP so I'll know how much pizza to order - I look forward to seeing many of you tonight. And, please don't hesitate to invite our friends and colleagues. 
All the best,
Michael Levin
Chairman, OrlandoJUG

Many human traits come into play when doing software architecture. As an architect, he suggests using AI for exploring tradeoffs and refining language with clarity and precision.
