JUGs that want to host their project in java.net now have a place and time to better prepare their participation. The incubator will allow for faster approval of JUG projects, since they can be approved right on, before their project is ready. Once JUGs take the time to learn and configure their java.net project, they can then graduate from the incubator. Come visit the JUGs that are right now in the jugs-incubator! You will also learn easy steps the will help you improve your own project. 2004-02-24 Feb 24, 2004 bucket/bu/43/f0f4044b Direct from Java Island: JUG Indonesia leader talks about Java, Eclipse, Open Source http://www.jroller.com/page/fthamura Do you think you are a Java master?

This is a strong example on how JUGs can help shape the future of Java. <p>Brian said that: "[...] by [Sun's] normal rules it would be too late to add Vietnamese support to 1.5. However, because of the very strong demand we have received [...], I have received approval to "bend" the rules some what." <p>Congratulations to JavaVietnam for the great organizational work, and many thanks to Sun form understanding the importance of Java User Groups. http://www.javavietnam.org/javavn/mvnforum/viewthread?thread=1530 2004-01-07 JavaVietnam Jan 07, 2004 bucket/bu/43/f633579f Import your Mailing Lists into java.net https://jugs.dev.java.net/import.html Java.net offers all the infrastructure to handle your JUG mailing lists, so you can host your announcements, news and discussion lists, and even moderated lists.
