| [jakarta.ee-wg] OCX - Open Community for Java CfP is now open! |
Hello dear Jakarta EE Community!
I am sure most of you have heard or read (Thabang's blog) about the new Open Community Experience (OCX) conference, a new umbrella event developed with our evolving communities’ and sponsors’ needs in mind. OCX will take place from October 22 to 24, 2024 at Halle 45 (https://www.halle45.de/) in Mainz, Germany, near Frankfurt.
To emphasise our communities, we will organise multi-day collocated events focused on the core pillars of the larger Eclipse ecosystem. In addition to the main OCX Call for Proposals (CFP) and Program Committee (PC), each collocated event will have a CFP and PC to ensure high-quality content, speakers, and activities. At this time, the planned lineup will include:
EclipseCon, revamped as the centre of gravity for all topics related to the Eclipse IDE platform and next generation development tools;
Open Community for Java focusing on topics related to Jakarta EE, Adoptium, MicroProfile, open source enterprise Java, and more; and
Open Community for Automotive dedicated to automotive software, software defined vehicles, and mobility topics.
In addition, the conference will feature multiple tracks of sessions across Eclipse projects and topics of interest to open source developers and practitioners, including embedded IoT and edge, languages and runtimes, open source supply chain security, trusted data sharing and dataspaces, and open source best practices.
Events have been an integral part of our community development since the Eclipse Foundation's inception in 2004. With this change we are leveraging the past to embrace our evolution and shape the future. By bringing our diverse community of communities together at a “conference of conferences,” we intend to provide a welcoming event for networking, learning about cutting-edge open technologies, and cross-pollination among our increasingly diverse Eclipse projects and industry collaborations.
This email is to let you know that CfP for the OCX conference is now open, and also to invite you to plan your attendance :).
Best Regards,
Tanja
