A sales engineer created the Japan Xamarin User Group (JXUG) to connect developers. He worked to keep and grow the community by understanding members' needs, recruiting core members, and hosting meetups anywhere possible. The biggest meetup showed the value of JXUG in fostering connections between attendees and creating a positive cycle for the community.
