          presented by Barrie North, Compass Design

        Barrie will present Joomla!, a Content Management
        System (CMS) for building websites and other online
        applications. Joomla! is an open source solution that is
        freely available to everybody. Barrie will also present
        the new version in development, Joomla! 1.5.

        In the spring of 2005 Barrie started his own Web
        consultancy company, Compass Design, that specializes in
        Joomla Web Design. As well as web design he provides
        web marketing/SEO, usability and standards compliance
        expertise to his clients. When not working he can be
        frequently found on the Joomla community boards and have
         written several tutorial articles for using Joomla.

8:05  "AJAX Development with Java and Linux"
	     presented by Jeff Dwyer

        First Jeff will demonstrate a new application he's
        developing with AJAX technologies and deploying on
        Linux. Then he'll get under the hood and show you some
        of the interesting things you can do with Google's new
        GWT toolkit. We'll then take a look at integrating the
        GWT into a popular web framework called Spring MVC.
        Finally, we'll introduce an ORM tool called Hibernate
        and discuss a couple of issues when using this with the
        Google Web Toolkit.

        Jeff is a Dartmouth '02 graduate in Computer Science.
        He's worked for 4 years as a Java developer &
        architect. Currently he's working on a startup venture
        in the field of personal knowledge management.

8:50  Roundtable Exchange - where the attendees can make
       announcements or ask a linux question of the group.
