Once a month we talk about the history of a JUG and the people behind it.
Today we travel to the Philippines. A new generation of developers has taken over the organization of the JUG. And in addition, they are also involved in the organization of the Softcon conference.
Let's talk about the history and future of the Java community in the Philippines!
