[jakartaee-platform-dev] Updated target date for Jakarta EE 9!

["Kevin Sutter" <sutter@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
After much discussion
and analysis of current status, we have finally come up with a new proposed
final date for Jakarta EE 9 -- Nov 20, 2020!  
Our planned announce
date will then coincide with the JakartaOne Livestream event on Dec
08, 2020!

I am in the process
of updating our
posted schedulevia this
PR.

Personally, I
think we have an excellent chance of beating that Nov 20 date.  But,
there was no sense in getting too far out in front of the JakartaOne Livestream
event.  

We are making
good progress on completing the individual Specification PRs in support
of Jakarta EE 9.  
We have a few
different ways of tracking the progress based on your preference of data
viewing:

• github project board(original tracking mechanism for Jakarta EE 9)
• github milestone(only contains the created specification PRs)
• old-fashioned spreadsheet(this also contains the spec committee mentoring status)

Let's continue
driving on these Specification PRs and see if we can't beat the goal put
in front of us.  Thank you for all of the help thus far!
