GatorJUG July
It looks like we're going to have another social meeting at First Magnitude. I just got back from www.solidcon.com, so I'll have a lot to report. I know several of you are working on new projects. It will be good to hear about them. Also, there's a lot of buzz about Java 9, so I'll bring some info to share.
Here's a link to the announcement: http://www.codetown.com/events/gatorjug-july
