Idea of founding official Mumbai’s Java Users Group came to me when I attended Jcrete Unconference in 2017 http://www.jcrete.org/ At Unconference I met with Christos Manios ( @maniosolr ) and Giorgos Gaganis ( @ggaganis ). I was really impressed with activities they carried out under Thessaloniki JUG, they founded. It made me think “do we have official JUG for Mumbai region?”
