To my knowledge it isn't directly managed at all. There are now
groups on the dev.java.net for all JUGs but there isn't any kind of
overarching management.

Warner,
I am not alluding towards anything or anyone that
was not directly stated in the post. The message was
an inquiry. How is the JUG term managed? Does SUN or
JCP reserve jurisdiction over groups that use this
term?
Thanks,
JMZ

(as should others)
when the list gets involved in a flame-war which I

violates the spirit of this list as well as the
overall good nature
that we have enjoyed.
If you feel like making that sort of comment I won't
stop you as it
doesn't reflect poorly on the JUG itself, it
reflects poorly on you.
And again, personally, I have seen nothing in any of
the recent
comments that reflects poorly on anyone here, so I'm
not sure exactly
what you're referring to.

I guess its some kind of coincidence that I am
noticing a high degree of informal commentary on
UG
lists lately. You do realize that this kind of
thing
reflects badly on customer and employer appeal?
For instance, I could say some kind of offhand
comment like "they'll give a greencard to just
about
any slob who scraped up enough money to bribe the
DOL!". Obviously, some may be deeply offended by
such
a statement.
Although it is certainly the prerogative of a
group
to govern themselves the way they see fit, in the
case
of a JUG, there is the issue of the exploitation
of
the legitimacy that the JUG term provides. I'm
wondering if there are any regulations that deal
with
this issue in the JCP or whether the JUG term is
an
entirely public-domain all-purpose term that can
be
utilized by any party. I would assume that if
there
are no such regulations then either 1) JUGs will
likely degrade in relevance( a process already in
effect ), 2) such regulations will be imposed in
the
future. The problems of such exploitation extend
to
all members of a local area.
Thanks,
Josh Zeidner
