We'll meet and talk about Java in general this meeting, unless someone comes up with a specific presentation. What's new in Java? What's new for you? We can talk about any aspect of Java you'd like, from J2SE to JEE, from web apps to client server. We'll also talk about the Codetown Contest #2 and a winner will be announced! Please RSVP so we'll know how much pizza to order. If you'd like to sponsor this (or future) meeting, just let Dan Lackey or Michael Levin know.

Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

Lily Mara, Hunter Laine walk through the design of a system, its performance characteristics, and how they scaled it.
By Lily Mara, Hunter LaineOne important design principle in software development is DRY – Don’t Repeat Yourself. However, when DRY is applied to test code, it can cause the test suite to become brittle — difficult to understand, maintain, and change. In this article, I will present some indications that a test suite is brittle, guidelines to follow when reducing duplication in tests, and better ways to DRY up tests.
By Kimberly HendrickAllegro experimented with different performance optimization options to improve Apache Kafka producer tail latency and eventually switched all its clusters to the XFS filesystem. The company used Kafka protocol sniffing, JVM profiling, and eBPF, which proved instrumental in identifying and eliminating performance bottlenecks.
By Rafal GancarzJenna Zeigen discusses front-end performance issues encountered by Slack as they continue to grow and evolve the desktop app.
By Jenna ZeigenWhen Microsoft Engineer Andres Freund noticed SSH was taking longer than usual he discovered a backdoor in xz utils, one of the underlying libraries for systemd, that had taken years to be put in place. The backdoor had found its way into testing releases of Linux distributions like Debian Sid, Fedora 41 and Fedora Rawhide but was caught before propagating into more highly used stable releases.
