Foojay Podcast #35: Dublin JUG

Running a local Java User Group takes more than booking a room and waiting for people to show up. It needs steady organizers, a steady stream of speakers, and a community that keeps coming back. In this episode we sit down with Barry Alistair from the Dublin JUG to hear how they keep their group active. This is Foojay Podcast #35, part of the monthly series about the people behind Java User Groups.

What we talked about

• The history of the Dublin JUG
• The motivation behind organizing the group
• How they attract conference speakers
• The impact of COVID-19 on the Java community

• Cooperation with other Irish JUGs
