Hello fellow Java developers ! Our favourite programming language is still on the edge and the global community is continuing to grow. Considering that we are kicking off a new Java conference called ChurConf inspired by the spirit of other Java community-oriented conferences happening around the globe. Taking part and speaking at niternational conferences for more than a decade motivates us to establish a community-oriented Java conference in New Zealand as well that brings passion, ideas and fun among Java enthusiast from all around the country in one place. Looking forward seeing you all this October in Auckland for the two days of ChurConf.
