| [jakarta.ee-wg] Establishing Jakarta EE working group committees |
| All, As Mike noted earlier, the Jakarta EE working group is now an official working group of the Eclipse Foundation. Thank you to everyone for getting the working group established. As a next step, it is time to begin populating the various committees of the working group. As defined by the charter, the Strategic members of the working group are entitled to have appointed representatives to each of the committees. As such, we are asking each of the strategic members to please put forward your nominations for each of: a) Steering Committee, b) Specifications Committee; and c) Marketing Committee. We will defer the Enterprise Requirements Committee membership until later. We would appreciate having these nominations by March 29. The Foundation will create mailing lists for each of these committees, and schedule meetings for the committees beginning in April. The Enterprise, Participant, and Committer members are also entitled to elected representatives on these committees. In order to maximize the opportunity to have as many members participate as possible, we are suggesting we hold these elections in early May. The voting process will be described in a separate email as the time draws nearer. Based on the current strategic membership, it is expected there will be 2 participant and 2 committer representatives on each committee. As a reminder, and to set expectations of level of effort, the charter specifies that the committees shall meet a minimum number of times each year. We expect these committees to meet more frequently during the first year, but hope to hit these “steady states” thereafter: - Steering Committee: at least twice per year - Specifications Committee: at least once per quarter - Marketing Committee: at least once per quarter Kind regards, Paul |
