Triangle Technology Executives Council (North Carolina)

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of sitting in on a meeting of the Triangle Technology Executives Council (TTEC) held in Research Triangle Park (North Carolina). I hooked up with the TTEC a few months ago when I wrote about the benefits of local CTO clubs several months ago and got an e-mail from Anders Brownworth, CTO of Bandwidth.com, who is on the board. Anders invited me to stop by the next time I was in town. At yesterday's meeting, Justin Gehtland gave a well-balanced talk at this meeting about the futures of .NET and Java (heavily-stripped-down nutshell: both are just fine in the right context.)

If you're interested in joining the group, go to the TTEC web site for details. These groups are well worth your time if you're a CTO.
