Our Mission To Spread the News of Java. To Enable Developers with Knowledge, Information and Tools. To Expose Members to All Aspects of the Java Universe in a fun, non-threatening environment. This group is FREE to join, and is aimed at promoting Java and related topics to the greater Oklahoma City area. Our Leadership The leadership of the JUG is very populist, having a Steering Committee that meets once a month to plan the various JUG events, as well as making long term decisions for the JUG. These meetings are open to everyone, with the membership of the Steering Committee being loosely defined as those who consistently attend the meetings. We do, however, have a basic structure to which we assign the ultimate responsibility of ensuring the functions and decisions of the Steering Committee are carried out. This very small structure consists of a president and treasurer. Currently, those posts are held by: * President: Mitch Blevins * Treasurer: Brent Wilkins /bios/scott-centille

Welcome to the new site for the Oklahoma City Java User Group. There may be some slight hiccups as we continue to tweak and modify the site, so please be patient. Also note that we’ve done our best to make sure we have not lost any data, though the links in the posts for past meetings will be broken indefinitely. Hopefully, this new site will be easier to navigate and use. If you have any feedback (or interest in helping ; ), please send an email to our mailing lists.
