Review of Minutes from Prior Meetings

Minutes of the August 25 meeting will be reviewed next time.
Jakarta EE 9 Spec Project Status
- Spec project board (new column for links to TCK and GF board)
- August 25 update (last week)
- Current status - no new specs are open for ballot:
- Authorization - Payara
- Activation - Red Hat
- Jakarta Mail - Werner
- JSON-P - LJC
- Any other significant updates affecting the status of the project
- The working schedule is for Jakarta EE 9 GA the week of Nov 1
- Seems doable from spec process perspective
- Doable from TCK team perspective - significant progress from last week. See TCK update below.
- Would enable a fall Livestream event. Marketing committee recommends a November 12th Livestream date with a fall back of December 8th.
- We discussed selecting a GA date and associated Livestream date target, bearing in mind:
- We have agreed delivery of Jakarta EE 9 on or before Livestream date is important
- Livestream will be scheduled based on our target GA date
- We have agreed that once a new Livestream date is announced, we will not change the Livestream date
- Therefore, we should select the new Jakarta EE 9 GA date target with reasonable confidence
- Must decide on a GA data and Livestream date (pair) by Sept 11
- It is possible there may be more ability to demo compatible full/web profile implementations if the date is later, and perhaps implementations with individual specs (e.g. Servlet)
- It is also acceptable to do a “dark release” prior to Dec 8
- The consensus was to defer the decision of a Livestream date to Sept 1 or Sept 8. The Livestream data can be selected the week of Sept 8.
- September 1 status update
- Recommend we review the following status page
- Jakarta Bean Validation
- Jakarta Dependency Injection
- Jakarta Batch (clarify process of absent vote)
- The following are in Ballot - thanks to the teams for getting these specs ready!
- Jakarta Activation
- Jakarta Authorization
- Jakarta Mail
- Jakarta Contexts and Dependency Injection (CDI)
- The following are close - what can be done to accelerate/complete moving these to ballot?:
- Jakarta Annotations
- Jakarta Persistence
- Jakarta Web Services Metadata
- Jakarta Interceptors
- Jakarta JSON Processing
- Jakarta Servlet
- Jakarta SOAP with Attachments
- Jakarta Authentication
- Jakarta Debugging Support for Other Languages
- Jakarta JSON Binding
- Are there any general actions that will help the above and the remaining projects move forward?
- Jenkins job access - done
- Process for closing ballots if all votes have not been recorded - awaiting email from Scott W. Will discuss at spec committee
- David checked for obvious “javax namespace” errors in specs (not in PRs themselves)
- Losing track of uncompleted checklist items - spec committee
- Full engagement from all spec leads and mentors
- Have a set of specs for which there is no PR:
- We deferred the decision of a target GA date and a Livestream date to Sept 8. The Livestream data can be selected the week of Sept 8.
