Groovy Topic?

Groovy (http://groovy.codehaus.org/) just released 1.0 final. Also
just released is the first developer's handbook : Groovy in Action by
Dierk Koenig (http://www.manning.com/koenig/)

I'm quite interested in Groovy and would love to see some Groovy
related TriJug meeting topics. Lee, Harold : Are there any such topics
already planned? Do we have enough interest in the group to warrant
arranging a topic? (shout out if you want it)

I hope I'm not going about this the wrong way, I just wanted to bring
up the topic and feel out the group for interest.

Do we have any Groovy committers in our midst?

Some topics I think would be useful:

Groovy's place in the Java developer's toolbox : best practices

Builders and GPath : best practices and relationship to what is
available in other languages.

Groovy and Unit Testing and Mock Objects: best practices

Groovy in relationship to other scripting/dynamic languages in general
and in particular its relationship to those on the JVM. e.g. Groovy
and Ruby and JRuby, Groovy and Python and Jython.

Groovy on Grails: current state, future, best practices, and
relationship to Ruby on Rails
