| Re: [jakarta.ee-community] Guide to Contributing to Jakarta EE 10 |
Will,
Thanks so much for reading through this and providing your kind comments. Needless to say it is much more than what I was hoping to accomplish. It has been a crazy week at the day job so I apologize for the delay in responding.
Unfortunately all I can afford at the moment is just a quick acknowledgement. I will go through your email and respond in detail hopefully over the weekend, addressing as many points as I can.

Hello -
Thank you Reza, Ambassadors, project leads and committers for the work and you have put into this document!.
As Reza suggests this is a good time to encourage community discussion and input about Jakarta EE directions after Jakarta EE 9. The Jakarta EE 9 release is just around the corner in November. As individual specifications complete, there should be no barrier to envisioning future work on these specifications. I welcome this community document, and believe it makes sense to begin shaping directions for Jakarta EE 10 for delivery in CY2021, and to identify specific topics for community input via surveys or other means.
Thanks for the pragmatic suggestions on how individuals can get started contributing to Jakarta EE.
◦ Join the mailing lists available here
◦ Check to see if your favorite new feature request has been logged, starting here
◦ Suggest how the feature would appear in the API, perhaps providing a POC. We suggest checking with the project team on the approach they would like to follow.
◦ Get on a list and reach out
The document provides a nice, simple summary of how to get started participating in, and contributing to, Jakarta EE.
◦ No paperwork is required to participate in community discussions
◦ You only need to fill out paperwork if you want to contribute
The Jakarta EE 10 contents section provides a good summary of potential changes. To keep the discussion moving, I'd suggest conducting a series of surveys on the suggestions being made in each of the areas covered below. Note if there are other technologies of interest we're open to discussion of these as well:
◦ Themes
- Take better advantage of CDI
- Leverage Java SE innovations
- Portability and vendor neutrality
- I'd add -- CY2021 release date
◦ Platform-level changes
- Security
- Concurrency
- Messaging
- Persistence
- REST
- Batch
- Transactions
- Faces
- (There's also active discussions on the Servlet project)
- New APIs
I suggest starting with above, and set as a goal presenting community driven directions at the Jakarta One Livestream event on Dec 8. It would great to use the Jakarta EE 9 release as a way to kick off process of community-driven Jakarta EE 10 release planning.
We discussed at Steering Committee today and propose to discuss this topic as part of a 30 minutes public Steering Committee meeting we intend to hold as part of the J4K conference on October 13. I will follow up with coordinates for this meeting.
Please comment.
Thanks
Will

Is it now the right time to revisit finalizing this document and begin driving Jakarta EE 10 contribution? Do we need to wait a bit more? If we should wait more, how much longer should we wait?

The first draft is now complete, could folks kindly take a look: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uZFBoIujXCc-gQhCzh_ZdlKEsrsV0yVVIHzBTI3usF8/edit?usp=sharing*__;Pw!!GqivPVa7Brio!PbkHfCs-JAqSzBMnTlVo5tqu7Bn6Y478xTSLNwJzUTxUbteLN3Kp2Od_c7x1X5dg$_______________________________________________
Obviously there are a lot of possible things across the platform and ecosystem, but I do believe it is best to focus on a simple, brief, end-user focused and mostly self-contained resource (to be ultimately part of the Jakarta EE Ambassadors website).
If possible, I would like to finalize this by next weekend.

Just a quick heads up that as promised I started drafting the guide this weekend: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uZFBoIujXCc-gQhCzh_ZdlKEsrsV0yVVIHzBTI3usF8/edit?usp=sharing__;!!GqivPVa7Brio!PbkHfCs-JAqSzBMnTlVo5tqu7Bn6Y478xTSLNwJzUTxUbteLN3Kp2Od_c7orjoJ6$ . I was planning to get a draft done by today but holiday family obligations got in the way.
I hope to get it ready for review by next weekend.
