Umbrella Java User Group AFRICA
Like Congo JUG, Togo JUG, RDC-JUG (Kinshasa) and Cameroon JUG are on the track to join JUG-AFRICA.
Why JUG-AFRICA ?
The idea behind JUG-AFRICA is to allow JUGs located within Africa to collaborate globally in ways that will ultimately benefit Java developer
communities locally.
JUG-AFRICA is intended to promote communication between JUGs across
continent.
Individual JUGs will continue to function normally. Affiliation does not in any way involve subordination of local JUGs under JUG-AFRICA. JUG-AFRICA exists solely to serve and support the Affiliated JUGs.
Some benefits to think about :
* Help new JUGs to grow and introducing JUG Leaders to JUG-Leaders mailing list.
* Organizing regional events throughout the continent
* Searching for sponsors and speakers
* Negotiating bulk discounts (for events, books, courses, certifications etc.) which can be made available to all Affiliates.
How to affiliate your JUG :
1. Designate a member of your JUG to serve as JUG-AFRICA Contact
2. To subscribe JUG-AFRICA Contact to the mailing list
PS : Thanks JUG-USA for the inspiration.

Happy 10th year, JCertif!

Katharine Jarmul challenged five common AI security and privacy myths in her InfoQ Dev Summit Munich 2025 keynote: that guardrails will protect us, better model performance improves security, risk taxonomies solve problems, one-time red teaming suffices, and the next model version will fix current issues. She said that current approaches to AI safety rely too heavily on technical solutions.
