David: Can we get links from the Oracle Java EE Twitter account to the Jakarta EE twitter account. Will follow up with David.
4) Spec Committee update
From Paul:
It would appear there is no time that is convenient for everyone to hold these meetings. Certainly not surprising given the multiple time zones, but something we’ll need to work out collectively.We need input from the spec committee on whether we can work out these logistics or an alternative.
One approach may have to be that we hold the meeting at alternating times. e.g., 10:00 AM one week, and noon the next week. (all times EDT for convenience)
I will schedule the first meeting for May 4 at 11:00 EDT as (hopefully) a compromise. I know this doesn’t work for all, but it at least is a time for us to start - and can take it from there.
Comments/suggestions welcome.
A first request to the Spec Committee is to define requirements for the specification process, in addition to defining the process itself.
David requested that the meeting be scheduled such that critical Pacific Time attendees can participate at least initially.
Wayne will push out some preparation/homework for the first meeting - a proto spec requirements document. One of the requirements will be to fit in to the Eclipse process.
Our working assumption is that the Jakarta EE brand will be obtained by demonstration of conformance to specifications that are created by the spec process. So the spec committee is driving branding.5) Technical Vision update
Any update from the PMC and Platform Project Committers on proposing a technical direction?6) Status of Oracle contributions
No progress. Next PMC meeting is next week. Will be on the agenda.
