Codetown ::: a software developer's community
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.
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.
