The Vilnius Java User Group (Vilnius JUG) is celebrating its one year anniversary. In its first year, the group held 12 monthly meetups and 3 pub meetups, with a total of 20 presentations on various Java topics. The group aims to bring together passionate Java developers in and around Vilnius, Lithuania to share experiences. Going forward, they are looking to expand their topics, increase participation, and potentially organize additional events like hackathons, tours to other cities, or a summer event.
