Speaker: Cameron Purdy, Founder of Tangosol
Title: Creating Grid-Based Data Infrastructures for the Enterprise

Our apologies for the last minute date change as we could not obtain a location for 50+ as this month the usual third Monday fell on the Martin Luther King holiday. Consequently we have changed the date to Thursday, February 7 as a combined meeting with the NYC Java Study Groups JUG. The meeting will be followed by drinks/food at a local bar.

For those new to the Java Meetup, it's primarily an open discussion and social networking meetup with occasional guest speakers and presentations. We'll return to the usual schedule and format the following month.

If you can not make new date please update your RSVP.

If anyone has any announcements or questions about Java technologies bring them to the meeting, this an excellent opportunity to network with local Java enthusiasts.

To sponsor either a location and/or refreshments or donate door prizes for future meetings contact the organizer or assistant organizer.
