SCOUG meeting July 20: Multimedia Java

That's what I get for sending something to the list when I first get up in the morning. The correct prefix for this is obviously Event:, not SW: as I sent to the list earlier.

The next meeting of the Southern California OS/2 User Group (SCOUG) will be this Saturday, July 20, 2002 at 9:15 AM PDT, at Regal Lanes in Orange, 1485 N. Tustin Ave.

Multimedia Java

Terry Warren, our co-Programming SIG leader and Chief Corporate Architect at United Online, will be taking center stage at SCOUG's July meeting with a presentation on multimedia Java. For starters, he'll give us an overview of the different types of MPEG content that are commonly used for video and audio distribution. He'll explain the capabilities added to Java 2 to handle them. And, to help us understand the differences, Terry will include some sample Java applications for MP1, MP2, and MP3.

Following Terry's presentation we'll have time for Q&A, so if you're having difficulties with something OS/2 related, be sure to ask for help about it. As always, there will be free donuts and coffee as a little incentive (and payoff) to come. Everyone is welcome!

After the meeting, those who are interested can venture forth en masse to Micro Center as a semi-sanctioned after-meeting event.

Help Desk chats are on Wednesday evenings at 7 PM PDT. If you've got a problem with hardware or software, join the chat and ask for help. Info is at http://www.scoug.com/chat/index.html.

OS/2 Help Desk and Networking SIG, August 11th, 2002, 2 PM PDT, Chapman University in Orange:

SCOUG's in-person OS/2 Help Desk is held once a month at Chapman University, in room 203 of the Hashinger Hall Science building. SCOUG volunteers are there to help you work through your hardware and software problems.

While you're at the in-person Help Desk, take a look at what the Networking SIG is doing. It meets at the same time and place, so it's convenient to do both. What a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon each month!

How to get to Regal Lanes:

From the 55 freeway, exit Katella Ave. heading west. Turn right (north) at the first major intersection onto Tustin Ave. At the next signal you'll find Regal Lanes on your right. It's across from the Toyota of Orange dealership.

There's lots of parking on the south side of the building. Enter from the east entrance of the building (farthest from Tustin Ave.), not the main (front) entrance to the facility. Take the stairs to the 2nd floor; meeting rooms (and restrooms) will be on your left.

Handicapped access is via an elevator by the front door.

OR: Go to http://www.scoug.com/directions.html; there is a map to Regal Lanes, plus a more detailed map & driving directions from Yahoo!

How to get to Chapman University:

There are two ways to get directions:
1) Go to http://www.scoug.com/warpexpowest/sitemap.html
2) Go to http://www.mapquest.com/ and enter the address 400 N. Center Street, Orange, CA.

You can park in any of the University lots for free on Sundays, but if you park on the street, watch the signs carefully or else risk getting a parking ticket.

Come to Hashinger Hall Science Building, room 203. It's on the second floor and there's an elevator for you to bring up your equipment.

Come and join us!
