1) As others have said it would help to post the speaker (and the location)
significantly in advance of the meeting -
If we plan to meet in July having no information on the speaker the Friday
before the meeting is unacceptable. If we do not plan to meet failure to
post that is even less acceptable.

2) As the only member of the group in a wheelchair - Dev9 is a totally
unacceptable location - it is completely inaccessible.
Disney is difficult because of steep hills but doable but at Dev9 you lose
me from day 1

Unfortunately we've had a last minute cancellation with the speaker for
July and I haven't been able to find a replacement. So there will be no
meeting in July. I'll update the website to reflect that. We have the
following talks planned for the next few months though:

Aug - Dennis Sosnoski will be talking about Akka for Java and Scala
Sep - Craig Walls can speak on any of his NFJS talks (the conference is
coming to town in Oct)

My apologies for the eastside location being inaccessible. I was not
successful in finding another eastside location which would have worked.
I'll be sure to keep in mind to find a location which is accessible in the
future.

cheers,
Nimret
