[jakarta.ee-spec.committee] *URGENT REQUEST* Question about CIs used for

["Kevin Sutter" <sutter@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
Some of you may
have noticed that ManagedCat has submitted their ManagedFish product as
a CI for Ratification:

Hi Kevin
Can you also put ManageCat into the
ballot as we opened a 9.1 certification request in https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jakartaee-platform/issues/350
Regards.
Gurkan


I have posted
my thoughts on this request both to his CCR (https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jakartaee-platform/issues/350)
and the Specifications PR (https://github.com/jakartaee/specifications/pull/372).
 I basically indicated that I didn't see a need to list ManagedCat
as a CI for Ratification and include it on the ballot because it's basically
just a commercially supported version of Eclipse Glassfish.  I welcomed
him to submit his product for the Compatible Products page.

Gurkan does not
agree and is asking to be included on the ballot.  This is a unique
case that is not directly outlined in the EFSP.  What are the collective
thoughts from the Spec Committee?  We want to get this ballot out
today, so an immediate discussion is required.  Thanks!
