I took a few minutes to update the OKCJUG Sponsorship Information page so that it reflects what we are actually doing for sponsors in 2010. Please check it out, and if you’re interested in sponsoring you can always email me to discuss it directly.
We appreciate our sponsors, their generosity is allowing us do a lot more for the java community in OKC.
On that note, we have two 2010 Annual Sponsors already. If you don’t know about them, ObjectStream and MBO Partners are both local companies who use java.

I want to thank Grant Schofield for an interesting introduction to “cloud computing” from a practical point of view. He turned me on to CloudFoundry, EC2, heroku, Engine Yard Cloud, vCloud Express, and RightScale.
For our members who would like Grant’s slides: Yes, I got your email. Every last one.
Here they are.
