I hereby nominate my colleague Sonja Gu for the Marketing
        Committee election for this seat.
      
        Sonja is a relatively new face in the Java Community but has
        chalked up some significant community visibility as the
        organizer of Microsoft's Java
        
          JDConf 2025. Sonja has also supported the Java community
        by supporting Microsoft's sponsoring and execution of JavaLand.
        For more background on Sonja, see her LinkedIn profile:
