JUG-AFRICA Cooperation plan and Agenda



There is my proposal for JUG-AFRICA agenda. Feel free to comment and add interesting ideas.
I will detail each point in my blog later.

  • Continue to affiliate JUGs and share our experience with new JUGs.

  • Elect a president and a vice president (last week of april 2010) : It will be very open process.
    Each JUG will propose one candidate and the two canditates with the most votes
    will be elected president and vice-president.


  • Increase our visibility both internal and external (very important) :

o External : Becoming partner of community events and projects. Two months ago, I started talking with Valérie Hillewaere one of
DEVOXX organizer. We will be part of « Supporting JUGs » for Devoxx2010. In
return for this, Devoxx will give away 1 free entrance ticket, and publish
JUG-AFRICA info on the Devoxx website.


o Internal : All affiliated JUGs should add the JUG-AFRICA logo on their website and sometimes mail to their members information about JUG-AFRICA activities
or events.


  • Look for sponsors and partners to support and promote our annual events and negotiate bulk discounts for books,
    events...for all members of affiliated JUGs and sometimes giveaways for specific
    local JUG meetings.

  • Find a way to make the conference calls or Webnar promoted by all JUG Leaders (need high speed connection wich is
    not available in all African region ) every two month

  • Attending regional events (JDC2011 and others future events) and international events
    (JavaOne/Devexx/Jazoon/OSCON etc.)

  • Organizing new annual regional events in West Africa (Senegal), Central (Maybe in Congo) and South
    (South Africa) regions

  • JCP membership (in progress) : Of course it’s not a big deal and all JUGs can have it free of charge but I think
    it will give an opportunity to all members of affiliated JUGs to participate
    immediately in the JCP through their association with JUG-AFRICA.
