Belgium is a small country, but the Java community here punches far above its weight. During Devoxx in Antwerp we grabbed the microphone and walked around to meet the makers behind some of the projects that put Belgium on the Java map. In this episode we talk with Stephan Janssen, Ronald Dehuysser, Geoffrey De Smet, Johan Vos, and Wim Deblauwe for Foojay Podcast #60.

What we talked about

Devoxx and VoxxedDays conferences, and the Devoxx4Kids initiative
JobRunr and how an open-source project finds a sustainable business model
Timefold and AI-driven scheduling and optimization
OpenJDK Mobile and bringing Java to phones and tablets
OpenJFX and the state of JavaFX
