Since you asked for examples, Stuff like Happy Hours to network (there may be some I just may not do enough searching) or events like Startup Weekend. Basically just events that help increase strength of the Open Source/Java community as a whole in Central Florida. We even have a IT "book club" in Columbus, where each week we review a couple chapters in a book and see what we can apply. Personally though, I'm a fan of anything with more beer :-)
