Hi,
In addition to the future dates, it might be good to have a small event log of things that have been done, so people see the work:
October 2019
Initial rawly converted Java EE specs made available to the projects
November 2019

29 April 2020

01 June 2020
Major milestone reached - GlassFish 6 starts up and shows admin console. Some errors remain. Still working on upstream projects to do re-releases with fixes.

There's many more events, of course, but I hope this captures the broad lines.
Kind regards,
Arjan

Sept 16 (target Livestream date)?
The
Platform team can own the right milestones and dates, but I think it would
be helpful to be realistic, now, about achievable dates, including factoring
in summer vacations, review periods for ballots, potential requirements
for multiple reviews, etc. High level, if M1 is end of June, and
we stick to a Livestream event on Sept 16, that leaves about two months
during peak summer months to go from M1 on JDK 8 end of June, to all TCKs
passing on JDK 11 and all specs submitted for ballot on Sept 2.
That seems aggressive.
Please confirm you will take this up
with the Platform team (or not).
Thanks
Will
