Codetown ::: a software developer's community
Interested in meeting some colleagues in West Africa? SeneJUG is the West African Java User Group. Members come from Senegal, Mali, Mauritania, Guinea, Morocco and many other countries in Africa. France, too! Many of our group already live in Dakar, Senegal's beautiful capital, because of the stellar Polytechnic University of Dakar. Our advisor, Alex Corenthin, is the chairman of the Comp Sci dep't and the registrar of the .sn domain.
There's a Senejug Group at Codetown, if you'd like to reach out to one of our colleagues in Africa. Read the rest here, in SeneJUG Town!
Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.
