[Bill Kendrick]

Happy year++!  The Silicon Valley Linux Users Group (SVLUG) meets
next Wednesday:

WHEN:

  Wednesday, January 4, 2005
  7pm-9pm

MAIN PRESENTATION:

  TOPIC:
    JXTA - an Open Source peer-to-peer platform

  PRESENTED BY:
    Henry Jen, Sun Microsystems

  TOPIC SUMMARY:
    JXTA ("Juxtapose") technology is a set of open protocols allowing
    any connected device on a network, ranging from cell phones and
    wireless PDAs to PCs and servers, to communicate and collaborate
    in a P2P (peer-to-peer) manner.  JXTA peers create a virtual
    network where any peer can interact with other peers and resources
    directly, even when some of the peers and resources are behind
    firewalls and NATs, or are on different network transports.
