Hello GatorJUG!

It's almost time for our April meeting! It's been a while since we had a social meetup, so this may be the one. It's so beautiful outside...stay tuned for details.

We have a new sponsor: JSPTester. JSPTester is a Java testing tool to help you test your JSP. According to the website, "JSPTester is a web-based tool for the isolated testing and prototyping of JSP pages! JspTester™ seamlessly integrates with your web application, allowing you to test the rendering of JSP pages by injecting request parameters, model attributes and session variables without the need of business logic or an MVC controller." Check it out here: http://www.JSPTester.com

Thanks to JSPTester, we'll have some dee-licious pizza and wings, and drinks too. 

Open Source Bridge is a great conference in Portland, OR in June. I usually go to Portland in the summertime for OSCON. I went to Open Source Bridge one year when OSCON moved to California. It was fantastic. It's totally community run. There are lots of locals. As you might guess, the developer community is very strong in Portland. Especially the open source community.

A big bonus for me was Pedalpalooza, throughout June. Pedalpalooza is a bike festival with fun activities all day, every day of June.

Open Source Bridge gave us a ticket to raffle off. It's normally a couple hundred dollars to attend, so it's a significant savings and very much appreciated. Let me know by sending me a message through Codetown that you'd like to be entered in the raffle.
