Mark Wielaard: New GPG key.
Finally created a new GPG key using gnupg. The old one was a DSA/1024 bits one and 8 years old. The new one is a RSA/2048 bits one. I will use the new one in the future to sign any release tarballs I might create. pub 2048R/57816A6A 2011-01-29 Key f...

JUG Focus: Egypt Java User Group Celebrates Five Year Anniversary
The Egypt Java User Group is celebrating its fifth birthday today. I wish them a happy gathering this evening!
This morning I strolled around the Egypt JUG web site, and found quite a lot of interesting material. The home page is divided into sections, with the middle section being a list of "Latest Contents" and the latest posts to the site. The latest contents are divided into:

The Navigation section on the right includes a link to the EGJUG's java.net page, along with links to recent posts, top contributors, and where visitors come from. While the ClustrMap doesn't show a whole lot of visitors, the vistors are spread across four continents (Africa, Europe, Asia, North America).
The EGJUG's java.net page says the JUG was formed in 2006, is the top JUG in the Middle East and Africa, and one of the top 50 JUGs globally. The page expresses a plan to start monthly meetings.
It's difficult to say how often the EGJUG actually meets, based solely on the web site. This could be because the site isn't kept entirely up to date (admittedly a difficult thing to do, when you have a job and you're also leading a Java User Group). The last documented meeting prior to today's birthday celebration was on May 2, 2010, Meeting#16: Java 7 new features by Svetlin Nakov. This meeting covered:
