Thank you Will for sharing such great news! I think this move will indeed benefit both Jakarta EE and MicroProfile communities not only financially but also technically so that a stronger ecosystem can be built naturally!

Thanks

Hello -

We have good news from the Jakarta EE Steering Committee for Jakarta EE and MicroProfile, and collaboration across these initiatives.

As part of its CY2021 planning and budgeting process, the Jakarta EE Steering Committee passed the following resolution unanimously during its meeting on November 17:

WHEREAS, the Jakarta EE Steering Committee believes the successful launch and broad participation of all the Jakarta EE Strategic Members in the MicroProfile Working Group is beneficial to both the shorter-term and longer-term viability and success of Jakarta EE working group; and

WHEREAS, each of the Jakarta EE Strategic Members has indicated an intention to join, or has already joined, the MicroProfile Working Group by no later than the renewal date of their 2021 renewal; therefore

RESOLVED, provided that all Jakarta EE Strategic Members join the MicroProfile Working Group no later than the renewal date of their 2021 renewal, the Jakarta EE Steering Committee agrees to allocate up to $110,000 of Jakarta EE 2021 budget to cover the 2021 MicroProfile Working Group fees of each of the Jakarta EE Strategic members, and requests the Eclipse Management Organization to take such actions as make this effective; and

RESOLVED, that any new member that joins Jakarta EE as a Strategic member up and until December 31, 2021, shall have their 2021 participation fees in MicroProfile Working Group, assuming they join, be covered by their 2021 Jakarta EE Working Group participation fees.

IBM, Red Hat and Tomitribe are already members of both the Jakarta EE Working Group and the MicroProfile Working Group.   By this resolution, the remaining strategic members of the Jakarta EE Working Group - Fujitsu, Oracle and Payara - are all indicating their intention to join the MicroProfile Working Group as well.  

This decision represents a unanimous endorsement for the joint success of both the Jakarta EE and MicroProfile initiatives, with collaboration, common membership and funding across them.   With Jakarta EE 9 delivery imminent, and the strong statement of support for the newly formed MicroProfile Working Group, we're poised to accomplish great things for Jakarta EE and MicroProfile in 2021.

Thanks

Will
