Hi Kyle,

We just wanted to check some information on your profile regarding your recent application to the London Java Community, as it is not clear whether you are a developer working with, or interested in, tech in the Java ecosystem or an individual or representative of a company that would like to sell services or products to developers.

Our community is a group for developers using, or interested in using, Java and not a networking group that helps people with marketing interests connect with developers. The membership is reserved exclusively for developers with a personal interest in the tech and the industry and those who organise and run the community.

It’s not surprising that every week a number of individuals and companies ask to join the community hoping to use it to connect with our members for marketing purposes. However, our members want the community to be marketing-free so we have a screening process to check that new members are developers joining for personal reasons. As part of the screening process we always write to people who submit profiles that raise a few questions about their reasons for wanting to join the community, or who leave important sections incomplete. In short, I cannot accept you into the community until I have a clearer idea of your intentions for joining.

If having read the above you would like to be part of the LJC please reply with your full name and some information about your interest in the community – or simply provide a link to your Linked-In profile so we can read a bit about you. (This will not be shared with the group on your profile.) Please be aware that the meetup.com system will only accept emails that you send from the email account you have registered on the site. Please make sure you reply from the correct email account, as otherwise your message will not reach me. You may also contact me directly via the meetup direct messaging system or on sas@recworks.co.uk.
If you are a developer wanting to connect with other developers and share your passion for Java I sincerely apologise for the delay in confirming your membership and the need to ask for more information.

Kind regards,

Shirine
