Hello, Codetown! This last minute announcement comes to you because I just got a reminder about tonight's meeting. Looks like a superior meeting, not only because of the presentation, but also because it's a chance to try some good beer. Here's the scoop:
"July's topic will be an end to end Maven developed web application built on a Jenkins continuous integration server and deployed to Nexus repository and Tomcat server presented by Doug Rothauser, Senior Java Application Server Administrator at FCCI Insurance Group.
Continuous Integration is not just about automatically building and testing software, but can also help in the broader context of the software product development and release life cycle. In many organizations, the life of a particular version of an application or product starts out in development. When it is deemed ready, it is passed on to a QA team for testing. If they consider the version acceptable, they pass it on to selected users for more testing in a User Acceptance Testing (UAT) environment. And if the users are happy, it is shipped out into production. Of course, there are almost as many variations on this as there are software development teams, but one common principle is that specific versions of your software are selected, according to certain quality-related criteria, to be “promoted” to the next stage of the life cycle. This is known as build promotion, and the broader process is known as a build pipeline.
An important part of any build pipeline is a well-defined release strategy. This involves, among other things, deciding how and when to cut a new release, and how to identify it with a unique label or version number. If you are working with Maven projects, using the Maven Release plugin to handle version numbers comes as a highly recommended practice.
The agenda consists of:
John Holton of RITA Technologies. John was able to hook me up, so if you are looking for employment prospects get in contact with him.
I will bring samples of my Brewsmith Rye Ale. Freshly brewed by a true Brewmeister

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.

Google Cloud has launched the public preview of Model Armor, a native LLM governance framework integrated into the Apigee API management platform. Detailed in a community post, Model Armor introduces out-of-the-box enforcement for LLM-specific policies such as prompt validation, output filtering, and token-level controls at the API layer.
By Leela KumiliIn this podcast, Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Tara Hernandez about the importance of building generative cultures with strong leadership development, psychological safety, diversity, and transparency over simply chasing new technologies. Technology should be a means to solve meaningful human problems rather than an end in itself.
By Tara HernandezUber has revealed details of its internally developed Multi-Cloud Secrets Management Platform, designed to address the security challenges of managing over 150,000 secrets across its massive distributed infrastructure. The platform represents a significant evolution in how large-scale technology companies approach credential security in multi-cloud environments.
By Claudio MasoloMicrosoft has announced the sixth preview of .NET 10, introducing a broad range of enhancements across the .NET Runtime, SDK, libraries, C#, ASP.NET Core, Blazor, and .NET MAUI. As stated in the official release, the update focuses on improving performance, developer experience, and cross-platform tooling.
By Almir VukAt the the 2025 Embedded Vision Summit, Tony Lewis, chief technology officer at BrainChip, presented research done by his company into state space models (SSMs) and how they can provide LLM capabilities with very low power consumption in limited computing environments, such as those found on dashcams, medical devices, security cameras, and even toys.
