Re: [jakarta.ee-spec.committee] Jakarta EE 8 certification goal

["Kevin Sutter" <sutter@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Nice start, David!  Thanks for kicking
this off.  I have made some minor suggestions and comments, but overall
the doc provides a good framework to start our discussions.  Although
we certainly didn't have any dead air time during our first meeting, I
think we need to get more focused on specific topics.  This doc should
help with that.

+1.  I agree that this needs to
be our first goal.  We have to drive to have this ready by EclipseCon
Europe and Oracle Code One (JavaOne).

Jakarta EE 8 certification goal

I attempted a draft targeted exclusively at what I'll
call the JCP side of this whole equation and a focus on "what do we
need to do release what we have."

 - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-Wke0kWeVYmkpT8fKb7CexYAn7PZWJ6H?usp=sharing

Overall, I'm wondering if we should focus just on the
portions of the specification process we need to get the Jakarta EE 8 specifications
and tck out the door and allow for certification.

We have the TCKs showing up shortly and if I recall Ed's
roadmap, they'll be in hand by end of July.  I know myself well and
if we're writing down definitions of what Jakarta EE is technically or
where it should go, I will definitely be contributing to us *not* achieving
a Jakarta EE 8 release.

If we can get off the ground by setting a date for Jakarta
EE 8 TCK release and certification process, that might help us move quicker
overall.  We could potentially agree to get this part done and table
"what is Jakarta EE" and "how to introduce change"
topics for after.

The doc is not strictly related to the Jakarta EE 8 goal.
 I simply used writing things down as a way to focus some of my own
thoughts.  We're welcome to do whatever we'd like with it including
throwing it away.  It is editable by anyone as is the directory in
case others wanted to write something similar.

Ignoring my doc, what do people think about the idea of
rallying around the processes required to release Jakarta EE 8 including
setting a deadline to work against?
