Subject: October NEJUG Meeting Presentations

As you know, the October 19th NEJUG meeting is about the uses
of Java in the "Real World". My idea is to have members
come up and give a short (10-15 minute) presentation about
how they are using Java technology in the workplace. My goal
is to get a variety of projects so that we do not have everyone
telling us they are using Servets (ha ha).

Please, this is not a forum for demonstrating a product you are
selling or developing. Rather, I would like to have members
present that are involved in medium to large-scale Java
development projects at their company. Also, this is not a
forum for sales pitches, recruiting opportunities, or company
profiles. It is meant to foster discussion about what Java
technologies are being used in the marketplace, member
to member.

I already have had several offers from members to speak. What
I am particulary looking for are those of you who are working on
such things as XML Parsing using SAX or DOM, EJB, JINI,
Wireless technology, Applet development, or other angles such
as eXtreme Programming, heavy use of Design Patterns, or any
other interesting uses of Java.

I would like to keep each presentation to 10-15 minutes, and
to have each speaker adhere to the following agenda:

1. Briefly describe the application
2. Describe the architecture and technology used
3. Discuss issues and/or lessons learned
4. Q&A from members

The presentations are VERY informal, and you do not have to
mention the company name, project name, or anyhthing that is
considered a "trade secret".

The meeting is a little more than 3 weeks away, so I would like
to line up the speakers as soon as possible. Please respond
to this e-mail or call me at (781) 944-0212 if you would like to
give a presentation on what you are working on in Java.

Thank you, and I hope to see you at the October 19th meeting!

Mark
