In 2006 I started the Orange County Embedded Java Users Group (OCEJUG) to meet and work with other developers using Java on small devices or using Java to interface to devices which interact with the physical world.  We also welcomed embedded developers in general. Since 2008, with the arrival of Android devices, the OCEJUG has evolved into a group which is more Android centric. It now makes sense to split the group into two entities: SoCalAndroid.org & SoCalEmbedded.org.

Tonight is the last meeting of the OCEJUG and the 1st meeting of the SoCal Android Developers group (http://www.socalandroid.org).  For some this will seem like a last minute announcement but the OCEJUG has been regularly meeting for Hack Nights every Wednesday (except the 2nd Wed. of the month) and today's message is simply the confirmation email that goes out on the day of the meeting.  If you are an Android enthusiast and can't make tonight's meeting, you will get your chance again on 1/19, 1/26, 2/2, etc.

You can join the group mailing list here: http://groups.google.com/group/socal-android

The OCEJUG is dead.  Long live the SoCalAndroid!

**********  And now for our usual Announcement ********

"Neither snow nor RAIN nor heat nor GLOOM of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds".

This was our ambient condition last week but of course we are now back on Steve Martin's prerecorded weather reports.

We're meeting tonight, Wednesday, 7:00pm @ Smart-Soft.

*****
Stop by and learn about Android.  PLEASE BRING YOUR LAPTOP.  We can help you best this way, and if you've not yet setup an Android development environment we can help you with that and get you started with your first application.

Pizza:
We serve pizza at our meetings -- the nutrition of hackers world wide, and the only time I get to eat pizza.  I can't tell you where we're going to get it from.  I've grown a little weary of stopping to pick up the Pizza on the way so we might just use our phones to order something online.  We'll try to remember the little pepper packets.

Please RSVP so I know how much pizza to bring or order.  If you indicate you're going to attend then please show up.

I did not see humor in the first part of that dire headline.  Much better branch off name though.   Does this mean we get free Android shwag? I like the new pic on the site but why does the end of that pathway look so dark?  Maybe somebody can photoshop a double rainbow at the end.  I hope we are still meeting in Irvine.  Anyway, Victory!... something like that.
