Yeah, this may have wide interest among the general group. Let them
know about it, they can register, and if they miss it they can always
download/view it later.
We can discuss our options after the webcast, based on the quality of
the presentation.
I'll keep looking for a meeting place, too.

Subject: [dayton-oracle-organizers] webcast on JVM scripting languages
Whoops, I've been forgetting to follow up on this. Tomorrow's the day
of the webcast, so we'd better figure out what to do.
We could schedule a meeting in our old time/place (5:30 PM, Mary-Ann's
Kitchen, ... oops, Oct. 13 is Columbus Day). So we'd need a new
time/place.
(I still haven't found us an alternate meeting location, by the way.
Suggestions? Better yet, suggestions backed by permission, or at
least contact information for whom to ask for permission? It looks
like we don't really need wireless, since we probably won't do more
lab meetings, but we still need enough space and peace and quiet to
project slides.)
We could crash the next meeting (Oct. 8) of the Dayton Dynamic
Languages group. (Actually, I'm sure they'd be happy to have us - I'd
check first.) That would give us access to the real subject matter
experts, and give us critical mass. It would involve waiting for a
few weeks after the webcast, though.
Personally, I suggest joining with the Dynamic Languages crew, but if
several DAY-O members speak up and say that they're personally
interested and want us to do it ourselves, that's fine too.
Maybe the thing to do is email the general (not organizers') DAY-O
list and ask people interested in the webcast to respond - then we'll
know how many interested people we have.
Thoughts?

I'm hoping that this is what I'm looking for.

> Open source scripting languages for the JVM like Groovy, JRuby, and
Jython have become popular alternatives to programming languages like
Java, C#, and C++ as well as traditional scripting languages like Ruby,
Python, Perl, and PHP. Developers are increasingly turning to this new
generation of scripting languages because code is faster and easier to
write, read, and understand. Scripting languages for the JVM also
provide the power of the Java platform without having to write Java
code.

traditional programming and scripting languages, each is best suited to
particular skill levels and types of development. Presented by Rod
Cope, CTO and Founder of OpenLogic, this webinar will provide a
comparison of key attributes for the most popular scripting languages
for the JVM, including:
>
> * Which languages are easiest (and hardest) to learn?
> * What types of development are best suited to each language?
> * How do the top languages compare in terms of ease of use?

each language?
