How and why you should be active in your local JUG
summary
JUG Munich spends a year adding concrete changes: contact colleagues and authors to book speakers, record speaker video audio and slides separately then edit and publish on YouTube, and run X/Mastodon/LinkedIn plus a permanent website. Equipment bought includes microphone sound recorder cables and a video capture card/HDMI splitter. Results: more visibility, more international speakers, company colleagues asking for help, sponsors covering venue and drinks, and two new speakers recruited in one day — all repeatable by other JUGs.
