history
The association was founded on June 29, 1988 and entered in the register of associations of the Stuttgart District Court on August 11, 1988. The association is based in Berlin. It is financed from membership fees and surpluses of its own events as well as advertising, for example in the member magazines Red Stack Magazine (formerly DOAG / SOUG News or DOAG News ), DOAG Business News and Java aktuell as well as in newsletters. The organization, implementation and advertising of around 100 events annually as well as the provision of specialist information in print and online media on products and technologies has been carried out by DOAG Dienstleistungen GmbH since 2006.
