Re: [jakartaee-platform-dev] [jakarta.ee-community] Request for Release

["Kevin Sutter" <sutter@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Josh and the rest
of the Ambassador community,
Thanks for your
interest in helping to move Jakarta EE 9 along the path to delivery!  Very
good to see the continued excitement on delivering beyond Jakarta EE 8.
 Thank you!

At least week's
Platform Dev call, Steve Millidge (Payara) and myself (IBM) volunteered
to co-lead the Jakarta EE 9 release.  Although we appreciate the offer
of helping to lead, I think where we will need more assistance is with
the actual work required to deliver Jakarta EE 9.  This delivery will
require updates to Specs, APIs, TCKs, and Compatible Implementations across
the board.  So, there are plenty of areas where the Ambassador community
could help out.

Also, several
of the Jakarta components now have the Spec source from Oracle which needs
to be "Jakarta-ized".  This is some tedious, yet critical
work that needs to be performed.  At last week's Update call, the
JAX-RS team was asking for assistance with their Jakarta-izing effort.
 I'm sure there are or will be other components that are looking for
similar assistance.

Our current goal
is to nail down the content for the Jakarta EE 9 release and then figure
out an expected delivery date.  The Jakarta EE Steering Committee
is requesting a comeback by Dec 9.  These discussions are happening
on the Platform Dev mailing list.  We would welcome participation
from the Ambassadors as well as the wider Jakarta EE community.  Thanks
again!

Owners for Jakarta EE 9

The Jakarta EE Ambassadors are on-board
with the suggested proposals for the Jakarta EE 9 release, and we would
like to help with the release as a community.  Our group would like
to request to become partial release owners for Jakarta EE 9.  We
anticipate at least two major vendors should also become partial release
owners, but in the spirit of moving Jakarta EE forward as an open source
community, the Jakarta EE Ambassadors are ready to help out.

We have a number of volunteers who have committed to spending some time
each week to help out with the release.  That said, we plan to assist
by having each of the volunteers contribute small amounts of time in a
collaborative effort to help move the release forward.  We have enough
people ready to contribute that should enable a nice impact from community
contributions.

Please review and advise what the next steps would be in order to move
forward with making the Jakarta EE Ambassadors partial release owners for
Jakarta EE 9.

Best Regards

Josh Juneau

Broadening this conversation to the community
alias for greater visibility. Again, it is understandable that many vendor
decision makers were busy with EclipseCon.

However, at least a brief status update
would be helpful. Personally I am still unclear if we actually have a formal
plan with multilateral resource commitments yet. After all, the whole point
of waiting the last two years for the transfer to happen was that Jakarta
EE would become a technology driven and owned by more than just Oracle.
This is an important checkpoint for many people whether that objective
is now closer to reality. I hope we can all come together at this important
juncture for so many people.

Request for Release Owners for Jakarta EE 9 

Hello,
 Did this get any responses yet?
If it hasn’t gotten any replies yet, I would suggest emailing people who
have the requisite knowledge directly. 

 I assume that the person has to
be an Eclipse Committer?

Hi,

As we discussed in the call today, the
first step towards a successful Jakarta EE 9 release is to appoint someone
to take on the role of Release Owners.

MicroProfile has had success with having
two release owners in order to share the workload and as a mechanism to
carry on the experience from release to release.

For Jakarta EE 9, it would be great to
have a release owner team with experience from a MicroProfile release and
maybe also mixed with someone that participated in the Java EE 8 Platform
Expert Group? Just a thought?

I am expecting a lot of volunteers here,
so please be quick to sign up by replying to this mail :)
