About Egjug

Egyptian Java User  Group is a not profit community, independent from any organization or entity, established by Egyptian Java Developers for Egyptian Java Developer.  Sun Microsystems is the main sponsor for the JUG's allover the world, they are providing the JUG's with the knowledge needed to make a successful community and offer a way of communication between java developers and their local communities as well as international communication between the JUG's across the sea. All companies realized that the JUG's are the best way of communication, marketing and surveys. IBM, Oracle, O'reilly, JetBrains, JBoss and other companies are supporting JUG's.

EGJUG has a set of goals and objectives derived from the needs of the local community in Egypt. Some of the EGJUG goals is to make monthly meeting to connect the Java Developers to others and improve the communications. The technical seminars is one of the most important activities which increase the java developers skills and guide them to the new technologies. EGJUG is making monthly technical seminars introducing the latest technologies to the members.

The current ongoing activity by EGJUG is conference organization, EGJUG believe that the best way to be connected to the other world in Java Technology is the communication with the technologies initiatives themselves. From this point, they start working on the first Java Developer Conference in Egypt by the local community and invited many international speakers from many countries to make presentations.
