What is LJC about?
The LJC is a broad community of technologists and other associate with Java and JVM related technologies. Although it is based in London, UK – it has some international membership due to its global programmes (such as Adopt a JSR and Adopt OpenJDK). The LJC hosts regular events including casual catch-ups in a cafe, hackdays, evening talks, unconferences, workshops, mentoring, demos, a career mentoring by london’s
Java specialists and much more.
The LJC acts as a voice for Java engineers in London UK as well as globally. This includes but is not limited to helping run a build farm for Java, representing Java developers worldwide on the Java standards body and contributes towards charitable works.
