> Subject: Google App Engine special meeting
> Hi Folks,
> Given the recent interest surrounding the Google App Engine and the
> release of the beta version of their Java/JVM support, I'd like to
> get people together to talk about their early experiments and
> experiences on the platform. Various attempts are being made to run
> Scala, Groovy, JRuby and Java apps and frameworks on GAE. As one
> renowned local developer was heard to tweet after a few beers, "This
> app engine s**t is the f*ing future, man".
> I'd like to propose that we have a special meeting next Monday night
> (sorry, Greg) at The Fox Hotel in South Brisbane (cnr Melbourne and
> Hope St), with a starting time of 6:30pm. Hopefully this doesn't
> clash with too many other commitments or another dev meeting of some
> sort. The fourth Monday of the month seems to be open. This can also
> act as a replacement for the QJUG meeting which didn't happen this
> month due to the Easter Monday public holiday.
> Given the broader nature of this topic, I'd like to open it up to
> all, rather than restrict it to one particular user group. Feel free
> to invite anyone else along who might be interested.
> Cheers, Paul.
