MAIN TOPIC ABSTRACT NetKernel
NetKernel is a software platform that combines the idea of simple abstractions and sets of tools (awk, grep, sed, etc.) with the flexibility of the World Wide Web. The question that drove the research and development behind NetKernel is simple:
Can the flexibility of the Web be provided inside software?
This presentation will show how NetKernel 4 answers this question with a resounding "yes".
NetKernel 4 is a fully refined REST computing abstraction that runs on an operating-system caliber microkernel. On top are a wide range of libraries supporting languages such as Java, Scala, Python, Ruby, Groovy, JavaScript, XSLT, XQuery, etc.
MAIN SPEAKER BIOGRAPHY Randy Kahle
Randy Kahle has a BA in EE/CS from Rice University and an MBA from the Amos Tuck School at Dartmouth College. He has worked for GTE Sylvania, HP, Microsoft, MageLang Institute his own consulting company, Variantia, and recently with 1060 Research.
BASIC CONCEPTS ABSTRACT Whither Micro Java?
The cell-phone version of the Java Virtual Machine is estimated by Microsoft to be available on two billion phones presently in use. It may therefore be surprising that this mature technology is widely considered to be the "least cool" application delivery platform of the Iphone Age.
What Sun created ten years ago was a specification without a corresponding implementation of the sort that made Java free and popular on desktop platforms, and the result has been a programmer's nightmare of incompatible and buggy JVMs on an incredible variety of phones.
Now phone makers and service providers are desperate for new features, distribution strategies, and buzz to compete with Apple, and even open-source is part of the push to revive this technology.
BASIC CONCEPTS SPEAKER BIOGRAPHY Jeff Fox
Jeffrey R. Fox was educated at Reed College (B. A.), Cornell University (M. S., Ph. D., chemistry), and studied fluid and mixture properties at Stanford University and the National Bureau of Standards (now N. I. S. T.) in Boulder. He was a co-founder of the materials-properties software startup Cryodata, and later an embedded distributed controller specialist at MCI. He is presently a software design consultant, the "tech" guy at Virginia K. Fox Translations, and a sometime educator (secondary science and mathematics). His open-source offerings include Forth language interpreter/compilers for very low resource systems, cache resident systems (FoxForth), and application embedding (123Forth and @Forth for spreadsheet control and function library programming), kinetic and statistical physics (simulated annealing), and support and maintenance for on-board Forth, Java and GCC programming tool chains for smart phone and PDA environments. His first "public domain" software offering was a four player hockey game based on molecular dynamics published in 1984.

NJR November Meeting: Deploying with Vlad
15km away in Colorado Springs
We still need people to man (or woman) up and give a featured talk, both now and in the future. Remember, it doesn't need to be about Ruby, just tangentially related. [divider] Kevin McFadden (that's me) will be demonstrating how to deploy a Ruby on Rails application with Vlad the Deployer. Deploying an application can be a real hassle. For PHP, my methodology has been something like tar -cvf ~/deployable/project-yyyymmdd.tgz `"find -mtime -[days since last deploy] | grep -v [git|svn
