Dear Alex/Experts,
As we heard and the EC also discussed recently (it probably won't be the
last time) a few Java EE JSRs have not progressed as much as the others.
Can we expect an official JSR 375 demo by Alex and/or other members of the
EG?
If not, who else would like to step in and propose a talk? Ivar and I did a
few talks on different occasions around the world (mostly EMEA region) and
at least one or two other EG members did I recall.
We should propose something, given there is also a RI project and working
pieces even if they may be at an early stage. After all, we're still
supposed to produce an EDR 1. Would be awesome to have that happen before
JavaOne, as the 1 year deadline for the next Renewal Ballot is only about 2
months later. So a "life sign" of JSR 375 seems very important unless say
the Spec Lead was to withdraw it due to resource or interest conflicts. We
all hope that won't happen and I already mentioned in the EC call that "IP
contributions" something they (EC and also Oracle to a large extent) care
about very much in this case came almost entirely from the community and
dedicated individuals like Arjan, David or a few others. So in reality this
has become a very community driven JSR and it would be great, if e.g. via
Spec Lead sharing or (if a situation like with JSF Portlet Bridge arose,
where Oracle handed its Spec Lead over to Liferay) if necessary even
transfer to others who want to help and already did so.

Subject: [javaee-guardians] Call to Action - JavaOne CFP is Now Open
To: Java EE Guardians <javaee-guardians_at_googlegroups.com>
Folks,
The JavaOne CFP is now open:
https://www.oracle.com/javaone/call-for-proposals.html. Let me remind you
that the only way to make sure Java EE is properly covered is by submitting
a quality and quantity of Java EE submissions. We should not be relying on
anyone else to do that and certainly not Oracle. Here are the topics we
definitely should be putting effort towards this year:
* Java EE 8 JSRs: As I've explained in a previous message (
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/javaee-guardians/_AnJbW12SlQ/0VQgxrAIJwAJ),
this is the most important thing we need to ensure this year. There are
still unaddressed topics so please read that message and step up on this.
* Java EE FUD Busting: Pick your favorite Java EE FUD and bust it on stage.
This year I am submitting on open standards vs. so called de-facto
"standards". I am also submitting on what modern JTA is really all about
with Oracle's JTA spec lead Paul Parkinson. One talk I would love to do but
just don't have the time to take on is why JSF still shines by doing direct
code comparisons with action-oriented web frameworks and the likes of
AngularJS/ReactJS.
* Java EE Ecosystem: Please submit on all the cool work that is going on to
support Java EE in the community like Swarm, Hibernate OGM, KumuluzEE,
Payara Embedded, TomEE embedded and so on. Kito and I are doing exactly
this by covering everything that still going on in the ever vibrant JSF
ecosystem.
* Java EE Adoption Stories: Use Java EE in the real world? Brag about it.
Never underestimate the value of doing this. It is perhaps the most
important thing you could be doing for Java EE.
* Java EE on the Cloud: Pick your favorite cloud platform and show how Java
EE applications can run there. You can even do it on something as crazy as
Heroku or Azure let alone OpenShift.
This is just the start. The ends are the boundaries of your imagination as
to where Java EE goes or can go.
If you need help on any of this, please reach out now. We will try to get
you everything you need from material, resources, know-how, expert help,
just some advice or just some proofreading.
Let's make it happen folks. This is important because JavaOne is still the
premier event for everything Java. Everything you do here can also be
reused just about anywhere else.
Cheers,
Reza
