What I have done is add FOSDEM to a list of community friendly conferences that we will encourage Jakarta EE Ambassadors to go to. That's something we have wanted to do better for a while. Once we get some people in, we can figure out what else we can do. In practicality, our group is something between Jakarta EE core technology developers and end users. It will work out fine if we can arrange it. If you can make some connections with the organizers and forward them to me, that will be enormously helpful.
All this aside, let's see what the Eclipse Foundation and vendors want to do.

Their FAQ states that expenses are covered for main tracks only.
Developer rooms are assigned to self-organising groups. From what
I observed, a decent amount of people in the room are actual core
project developers (e.g. openjdk devs, mesa3d devs, llvm devs...),
the rest are developers who use the technology or just people
curious about the subject.

Do you know if the conference covers speaker
expenses? If so, we could explore what we could do from the
community side. Could you try to track down the organizers while
you are there and try to find out? If needed, I will be happy to
follow up remotely and try to see what could be organized. If
speaker expenses aren't covered, it is really difficult for
non-vendors to do much. The rest we can at least try to overcome
in the community.

Subject: [jakarta.ee-community] JakartaEE at FOSDEM
Hi
A few hours ago I had the pleasure to listen to Mike Milinkovich's
talk
at FOSDEM which got me thinking.. JakartaEE (and MicroProfile)
presence
at this giant conference is almost non existent (I did find a
JakartaEE
sticker at the Eclipse stand tho!). The Free Java DevRoom is
pretty much
packed every year but is mainly focused on openjdk with rare
exceptions.
It would be nice to attend a JakartaEE (+MicroProfile?) DevRoom to
hear
directly from spec and implementation developers about the latest
and
greatest work done on the projects. Now that JakartaEE is fully
open it
also aligns better with the spirit of the conference. That being
said..
- I am not familiar with existing Eclipse Foundation events but I
suspect this could be redundant and fall under "yet another event"
for
Eclipse to cover
- I don't know what the appeal and attendance from general
population
would be. Could be a good popularity test?
- Getting a slot from organizers might be problematic, I know they
already turn down projects because the conference got so big there
is
simply not enough rooms for everyone.
Best regards
