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!

Delivery performance rarely changes in a straight line. Small degradations caused by tooling, environment instability, or team changes can accumulate quietly, while real improvements take time to emerge. This article shows how combining DORA metrics with Process Behavior Charts helps teams zoom out, detect meaningful shifts early, and validate improvement hypotheses.
