Wow! Is is great to see the enthusiasm here! Thanks!!
However, it looks like I should clarify what I am asking for
at this point, and what we expect the process to be.
As of right now, I am only asking whether your company (or you as an
individual) wants to be listed as "Supporting this JSR" when we
submit it to the JCP this summer.
We're not forming an expert group yet, and won't be until after the
JSR is officially posted and approved. Once that happens, we expect
to use the standard JCP processes for adding experts. That is, once
the JSR is posted on the JCP web site, if you'd like to join the new
expert group, please use the "I would like to join this Expert Group"
link on the JSR page to submit your nomination. The JCP PMO will then
validate your nomination against their list of current JSPA
signatories and then pass it on to us.
Once we get to the expert group formation stage, I'll post here
again, and let you all know.
thanks again,
-Linda
