March meeting writeup - in brief
- Java tutorial day for beginners
- UML and test first as diametrically opposed methodologies
- SMS aggregation. (Yes, you can make money out of it, but the aggregators themselves will take something like a 50% cut)
- SVN setup, TortoiseSVN
- Various colds and ailments.
- Wikis, Blikis, and why RSS is cool.
- Carl showed us an SMS service which answers simple FAIBML queries. GSM modem, SIM, and the appropriate Java application server setup. Very cool.
- We surfed the net from inside the Philharmonic - wireless service providers and their wierd and wonderful range of payment strategies.
- St Patrick's day considered inappropriate as a date for JUG meetings in a pub.
- Diagramming tools, collaborative editing thereof (e.g. like version control/diff but by node instead of line of text.)
- Alternate meeting locations for next meeting.
We moved from the Phil to the Everyman Bistro, a different experience from the usual crisps/beer followed by late-night pizza.
Mark is going to check the community flat at his block to see if it is free for next month. (Near Sefton park: rough consensus is that it shouldn't be a problem for anyone, but let us know!)
