What is a JBoss User Group?

A JBoss User Group (JBug) is a group of people who share a common interest in JBoss Professional Open Source products (JBoss AS, Hibernate, Apache Tomcat, and others). They meet on a regular basis to discuss new technologies, development methodologies, interesting use cases, and similar technical topics.

These groups are independent of JBoss - organized and supported by JBoss customers and users. The goal of all JBoss User Groups is to promote Professional Open Source Advocacy, Education, Support and Socializing.

JOIN the JBoss User Group in your area

We are very excited about all of our new JBoss Users Groups. If one of these is in your area, be sure to contact the organizer to be added to the email list. Check back to the website regularly to see updates!
