[ANN] Fw: Java DevCon 2005 - May 25

[James Mitchell <jm...@apache.org>]

Our local Atlanta Java Users Group is hosting a Developer Conference and if 
you live anywhere in the Southeastern U.S. (or visiting at that time), I 
would encourage you to attend.  This is going to be a great event and I look 
forward to meeting more of my fellow developers out there in the OSSC (Open 
Source Software Community) and POJC (Plain Old Java Community ;)
