Abstract

Many Java User Group leaders from around the world will be present at the Jazoon Conference, so why not seize this opportunity to connect to JUG leaders, talk about JUG initiatives and exchange ideas – and also discuss tried solutions for evangelizing Java and growing developer communities. At JavaPolis 2006 the JUGs BOF was very successful; at JavaOne 2007 it was another great hit. Join the three Java.net JUGs Community Leaders – together for the first time ever – for a globalized no-fluff discussion of Java technology, and what you can do to grow the community and benefit from it.
