_This month's meeting details:_

*When:* Tuesday, February 16, 2010 at @ 6:30 PM
*Where:*

MATRIX Resources
*115 Perimeter Center Place, NE, Suite 250, Dunwoody, GA 30346*

*Who:* Rick Thomas
*What:* Google Wave for Developers

*Description:
*
Google introduced Wave saying that this new online collaboration tool 
"reinvents email". But they have offered developers a lot more than 
that. The Wave architecture incorporates many innovations since email - 
especially live cooperative editing. So Google challenges us to reinvent 
our communication apps with these possibilities in mind.

Wave is a big topic so the talk is organized in three parts with time 
for discussion:

1. Wave - Product, Platform, and Protocol.
An overview of Wave emphasizing the Wave platform for extension development.

2. Wave architecture - Patterns for development.
Approaches for using Wave's live synchronization layer with new and 
existing web applications.

3. Development of Wave robots in Java.
The API for building Wave robots that watch user activity and respond 
with edits. Robot services range from simple text substitution to 
interfaces to existing web services.

*Our Speaker:

*Rick Thomas is an entrepreneur focused on the strategic design of 
cooperative work. From his past work in developing collaboration 
software for project and sales organizations - and his interest in the 
natural history of language - he offers a unique perspective on the 
potential for Google Wave to change the shape of our work and society.
