Join the zoom at 6:30 pm US pacific time! The audio doesn't start until we do, so don't worry if you don't hear anything at first.

Developers: Are you frustrated by your project manager? Does your PM distract you at the worst moments with an endless stream of seemingly inane questions? Ever wonder why your project has one in the first place?

Join the San Francisco Java Users group for a discussion that will shed a little light on what PMs are doing each day, why they exist at all, and how to cope when you are assigned one you'd rather live without.
