You can friend people on Codetown and send PM's. There's chat, too. So, if you see someone you know online, you can chat with them. The OrlandoJUG meets every 4th Thursday in various places including the wonderful DeVry on Millennia Blvd, the ultra cool Canvs on Church Street and sometimes at Eden Bar just down the road from us in Winter Park.
