Foojay Podcast #44: Quarkus Club

Once a month in this podcast, we talk about the history of a Java User Group and the people behind it.

In this episode, we have a special group as we visit the virtual Quarkus Club.

Did you know? The Quarkus Club initiative started less than a year ago and is already one of the biggest groups in the world dedicated to Quarkus!
