BlueJ moves to a new home: King's College London
13 Mar 2017
You may have noticed a new logo appearing on the splash screen for the just-released BlueJ 4.0: King’s College London.
The BlueJ group was at the University of Kent for the last 12 years, and we have a pretty stable team, with a number of very competent developers who have been with us for a long time.
From February 2017, most of us have moved to King’s College London, a university in the centre of London. This will be the new home of the project. We will still have a small presence at Kent – Ian will stay there – while Davin, Amjad, Neil and Michael have moved.
This is an exciting move for us. Development of BlueJ will continue as before. Oracle are, as always, very supportive and are continuing support for our team to make further development and support of BlueJ possible.
Expect more exciting BlueJ releases to come out of King’s in future!
