| [jakarta.ee-community] JakartaEE at FOSDEM |
HiA few hours ago I had the pleasure to listen to Mike Milinkovich's talk at FOSDEM which got me thinking.. JakartaEE (and MicroProfile) presence at this giant conference is almost non existent (I did find a JakartaEE sticker at the Eclipse stand tho!). The Free Java DevRoom is pretty much packed every year but is mainly focused on openjdk with rare exceptions. It would be nice to attend a JakartaEE (+MicroProfile?) DevRoom to hear directly from spec and implementation developers about the latest and greatest work done on the projects. Now that JakartaEE is fully open it also aligns better with the spirit of the conference. That being said..
- I am not familiar with existing Eclipse Foundation events but I suspect this could be redundant and fall under "yet another event" for Eclipse to cover
- I don't know what the appeal and attendance from general population would be. Could be a good popularity test?
- Getting a slot from organizers might be problematic, I know they already turn down projects because the conference got so big there is simply not enough rooms for everyone.
Best regards
