OrlandoJUG December - Meet up with SunJUG 12/11?
Hey, folks!
The SunJUG is having a meeting 12/11 in Sarasota. Chris Schaefer is the organizer! If you don't know Chris, he just gave a presentation on Spring Batch here last month. This will be a beer and socializing meeting, no agenda. It occurred to me that it may be fun to drive to Sarasota. If you're interested, maybe we can organize rideshare here using the comments to this discussion.
Here's the SunJUG announcement:
===
Hello,
This months topic will be beer and general tech talk! Come join us for
a couple beers on Wednesday, December 11th, 2013 at World of Beer
Sarasota starting at 6:30PM.
More details can be found on the event page:

Please RSVP if you can using one of the sites listed on the event page.
The SunJUG will start resuming monthly meetings in January, see you there!
