Hi JUG Leaders and Java Champions,

We invite you to share your experiences in development with the industry and the Java Community in Africa by submitting a proposalfor this far from the « classic » event at info@jcertif.com !


JCertif
 is a mix of technical session, training, life experience and a bit of an adventure !
The event will take place in Brazzaville, Congo on September 14-15 (for the conference only) and September 9-13 (for the University) . 

PS : Don't worry, you will be back in time for JavaOne 2013 (I will be speaking at JavaOne too :-) )
