JCP: The LJC and the New JSR to Evolve Java Community Process
The London Java Community has recently been elected into the JCP Executive Committee, together with the SouJava JUG.
On May 17, 2011, Oracle introduced New Java Specification Requests to Evolve Java Community Process. More details here: http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/press/399116 and here http://blogs.oracle.com/jcp/entry/jcp_next_jsr_submitted_to.
Concerning this new JSR, the London Java Community is calling for collaboration and exchange of ideas:
Hi all,
We’d love to hear your opinions on this JSR! We feel that this is a real opportunity for the JUGs and their members to get involved at the grassroots level of JSRs going forward. We’d also really appreciate it if you could pass the details of this JSR onto your members and try to solicit as much feedback as possible.
We held our regular LJC developer sessions last night and our members were really excited about the upcoming changes and offered some really useful suggestions.
This JSR is one of the main reasons that we stood for the JCP and we’re really excited to work with the community to make the JCP and JSRs as open as possible.
Cheers, Martijn & Ben – LJC
