[jakarta.ee-spec.committee] Jakarta Summit - request for commitment
All,

We are proposing to hold a “Jakarta Summit 2019” in June 2019.  Jakarta Summit is a 2 day event targeted specifically to developers with a stake in the evolution of Jakarta EE technologies.  The details of the proposal are below.

As an explicit action item, we are asking a commitment from Strategic members to the Jakarta Summit by no later than February 1. We know this is a short timeframe, but we need this commitment so we can begin promoting with other members of the working group and other interested stakeholders, and to finalize logistics with a venue. A summary of the proposed sponsor packages is also below.

To add context, the Jakarta Summit is part of our overall proposed strategy for the Jakarta EE Working Group to grow its outreach and event strategy.  This strategy includes hosting a JakartaOne Live virtual conference later in 2019, and a JakartaOne conference in 2020. These conferences are complemented by the Jakarta Tech Talks, which start in January 2019, and other outreach events such as a roadshow or other events going forward.

Note that these are all events hosted by Eclipse Foundation on behalf of the Jakarta EE Working Group, and are separate from the efforts being driven to participate in other major conferences.  The intent is to create a significant conference presence for Jakarta EE in support of our goal of creating a world class brand.

@Will, I can provide additional details during the Steering Committee call today.

Regards,
Paul
