Re: [microprofile-wg] VOTE: Funding MicroProfile Tutorial with 2023 Budget
|
I am closing this vote as communicated. The following members voted in
favor: Microsoft, Oracle, Payara, IBM, Primeton, AsiaInfo, Fujitsu,
Garden State JUG, and iJUG. Tomitribe has indicated it's abstention. The
proposal passes with 90% approval.
On Monday I will share a draft invitation for the open bid. It will
outline at a high level what the bidders need to deliver. I have already
started this dialog with the Eclipse Foundation and hope we will be able
to open bidding next week.
As part of the process, the Foundation has requested that we try to
include a handful of initial potential bidders. Personally, I have Kito
Mann's company in mind. I think Ondro Mihalyi, Werner Keil, Bazlur
Rahman, Victor Orozco, etc are also possibilities (or more precisely,
the companies they represent). Do others here have suggestions too?
Note, of course others eligible can bid. This list is just a starting
point and we will publicize as widely as possible in a time-bound fashion.

Folks,
Please vote on a proposal to spend the remaining $10-11K 2023 budget
on funding an official MicroProfile tutorial similar to what
comparable technologies like Jakarta EE have.
We have discussed this matter in depth in the past. While there are
many ideas on what to spend money on and how to spend it, the time to
make a judicious decision is quickly running out. The highest priority
item we have been able to identify is funding the tutorial. This has
been a long standing gap that probably hurts adoption. It could start
with a pretty modest 15-25 page tutorial. The best way we have been
able to identify is an open bidding process run by the Eclipse
Foundation. Any legal entity would be eligible to bid, but not purely
individuals.
A Steering Committee Representatives vote is requested. Please respond
with +1 (positive), 0 (abstain), or -1 (reject). Additional feedback
on your vote is always appreciated, but not really required.
We will close the vote this Friday. We require a simple majority
positive vote of the Steering Committee members. There is no veto.
Community input and votes are welcome. However, only the votes
delivered by Steering Committee Representatives will actually count.
Thanks,
Reza
