[jakarta.ee-wg] Approval announcemens

Hi all,

can someone clarify how announcements like this [0] come to be? I've read up in the minutes of the committee meetings, been following all JNoSQL related mailing lists, gave feedback and tried to follow the project as close as possible. Still I haven't seen any public discussion about this and am surprised to see projects announced as "approved". Given the name of "Jakarta NoSQL" does that mean it's going to be come a spec?

This kind of development has had precedence in September last year [1] when again the project was announced as first JakartaEE specification without any formal backing of this. Is the new mode of operation we have to expect for JakartaEE? Vendors announcing projects by them being a standard without any kind of public trail in the first place?

I've brought this up in a smaller round before and am surprised to see that MO being used again. This makes a very bad impression on the process in the first place as – no matter how much the new openness is praised publicly – it's fundamentally subverted by the actual decisions either not being made in the way documented or the decision process not being documented as proposed. Why am I supposed to get involved in the public channels if decisions like those are made at will?

Maybe I just got lost in the amount of mailing lists and missed the communication around this. Any insights appreciated.

Cheers,
Ollie
