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.

IBM Research has released CUGA (Configurable Generalist Agent) on Hugging Face Spaces, making its enterprise-oriented agent framework easier to evaluate with open models and real workflows.

AWS has recently introduced regional availability for the managed NAT Gateway service. The new capability allows developers to create a single NAT Gateway that automatically spans multiple availability zones (AZs) in a VPC, providing high availability, eliminating the need to define separate gateways and public subnets in each zone.

Chris,
Thanks for making the November 2013 GatorJUG and OrlandoJUG meetings a success. Everyone liked your presentation and we learned a lot. I noticed more questions after your talk than in the majority of other presentations we've had. People were tuned in and listening. Spring *is* a big deal and you dissected it well. All the best, Michael
Hi Chris - thanks for the great presentation last night at the GatorJUG.
