Hi All!

I’m the group leader for the Sacramento Groovy and alternative JVM language User Group (SacGRU) here in Sacramento. Gradle is a pretty constant topic with me using it in my day job for a number of years now and building plugins, etc. I’m constantly singing the praises of Gradle and am now using it on a Scala/Akka project at my day job.

Sacramento is about 75 Miles east of San Francisco, just a train ride away. With some Gradle people speaking at JavaOne I was hoping that someone would be interested in coming to Sacramento to give a talk. Please let me know if you’re interested. You can contact me directly at “iamsteveholmes at gmail dot com”.

Thanks!
