DevRoom Proposal: JCP State of the Union & Progress Report

[Mario Torre]

Title:
JCP State of the Union & Progress Report


Abstract:

The Java Community Process (JCP) program has made significant changes
over the last several years in order to increase community
participation in the development of Java Specification Requests (JSR)
and to enable greater transparency for the community into the JSR
expert groups. Reforms to the JCP through JCP.Next as well as through
the Adopt-a-JSR programs have enabled this involvement from the
community that is vital to the success of Java. The free and open
source community now have greater opportunities for contributions and
feedback . We will discuss the current state of the nation on these
programs and ask for feedback and suggestions for greater
participation moving forward through the ongoing JCP.Next effort,
specifically JSR 364, Broadening JCP Membership and JSR 358, A major
revision to the Java Community Process.


How can people help out with the project, what feedback are you looking for?
Comment on JCP.Next, Java EE, Java SE JSRs in development, join the JCP.
