> have another good meeting planned.  Also, for building security 
> purposes, please RSVP if you are going to attend (or are even

>
> 1) Jonathan Rentzsch of Red Shed Software on DirectToWeb
>
>     "What WebObjects is to the rest of app server market, DirectToWeb is 
> to WebObjects -- Jim Roepcke"  DirectToWeb is a superset of the 
> WebObjects Framework that dramatically cuts down on the amount of time 
> it takes to build a fully functional web application which interacts 
> with a database. Jon will show you how DirectToWeb blends your 
> database model file with rules you define and your custom components 
> to dynamically generate web applications with minimal code.
>
> 2) Chris Hanson of bDistributed.com on the BDRuleEngine framework
>
>     Chris Hanson of bDistributed.com will be talking about his company's 
> Open Source BDRuleEngine framework, which adds a rule engine to Cocoa. 
>  Chris will give an overview of the principal classes in BDRuleEngine 
> and show how to build a simple Cocoa application that derives its 
> behavior from rules.  Chris will also discuss the key differences 
> between BDRuleEngine and the rule engine in DirectToWeb.  The 
> BDRuleEngine framework and the BDControl framework on which it depends 
> can both be downloaded from <http://www.bdistributed.com/Projects/>. 
> They are both Open Source, under a BSD-style license.
>
>
> We will, as usual, also have Q & A and pizza, a discussion of future 
> meeting topics and dates.  Thanks to Kiwi Internet Group for the 
> pizza.  Also, thanks to Alex Johnson, the CAWG calendar is available 
> as an iCal:

>
> Lastly, if you are working on a project and would like to talk about 
> it briefly / promote it, I think it would be fun for people to hear 
> about other people's projects.  Please email me off line you can talk 
> at this meeting or a future meeting.
