This is the first in a series of meetings (Oct-June) to design and develop
a live Java web application. We will build a neSOFTdev talent marketplace for the web.
So, the meetings are live Java, database, XML, eCommerce development sessions
and yes we want you to join us.

Everyone is welcome. Right now we have the founding members and we are really excited.
Possible meeting topics are October - The Roadmap, November - Object Modeling,
December - The Prototype. I will play the lead role and provide the vision
until the team takes on its own personality. Can you tell from the topics that I
plan on bringing a unique perspective to the team? This is not
follow-the-leader thinking for sure. Yes, we want you to join us.

What can you do? Come to the meeting and discuss your favorite
talent marketplace on the web. It is easy. Send me an email
(I have to know it in advance) telling me the URL and I will
capture the site for you. You can then show it to the group and
explain what you think are the best features. Send me your bookmarks
even if you can't make it. Look at http://talentmarket.monster.com/
for an example. Better yet, bring your ideas on how we can promote you.
Yes, we want you to join us.

This application has tons of commercial potential for neSOFTdev,
the founders and active developers. You shouldn't sit on the sidelines
for this one. You can help make it all happen and please bring a friend.
