Foojay Podcast #30: Utrecht JUG

A local Java User Group lives or dies by the people who show up and the people who keep showing up to organize. On September 12th, I spoke at the Utrecht JUG and brought a camera and microphones to capture what makes this group tick. In this conversation we sit down with Michel van Dongen, Willem van de Griendt, Elias Nogueira, Gerard Meijwaard, and Hanno Embregts for Foojay Podcast #30.
