UPCOMING USER GROUP MEETINGS
=====================================================================

As mentioned above, over 200 people have already registered to attend
our upcoming Spring user group meetings. These meetings are a great way
to hear about the latest features in the Spring Portfolio, meet your
local software development peers, and enjoy a free drink on us!

Our next meetings will feature SpringSource's Dr Paul Chapman presenting
on the new Spring MVC 2.5 and Spring Web Flow 2.0 releases. Paul will
explore the differences between request-response processing and more
comprehensive conversational lifecycles, highlighting the different
options provided by Spring MVC and Spring Web Flow. He will also explain
integration between the projects, and show you how to get started with both.

Because space is limited, and it helps us plan for catering, we'd
appreciative it if you could register using one of the links below:

I look forward to seeing you at one of the user group meetings.

Best regards
