Once a month, the Foojay Podcast virtually visits a JUG to talk with the people behind it.
SouJava, the Brazil JUG, was founded in 1999, and according to Wikipedia, is recognized as the world’s largest Java User Group with 40,000 members.
There’s a lot we can learn from the people who have achieved this!
