Re: [microprofile-wg] [microprofile] Re: Requirements for compatibility

[Emily Jiang <emijiang6@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think with the proposal of reducing the cost for joining MP WG, it might not be a big issue for joining MP WG. Besides, it might help with growing the WG community.

With the compatibility logo program, for non-WG members, they get the same outcome with non logo or logo. For WG members, they get the logo if we do support the logo program. I still don't see why stop the logo programme.

Providing an alternative logo is definitely something we should entertain if WG is happy with no official logo.

Thanks

This is back to a compatibility logo program with per registrant costs due to registration overhead and defense requirements. 

The proposed alternative was to develop a public domain version of the logo ala Java Duke (https://www.oracle.com/java/duke.html) and to not worry about misuse. The user community for implementations that claim compatibility that are not will handle that.

Thank you Mike for your quick response! I think the compatibility logo is a big icon for being a standard body.

Since any non-wg members can still claim compatibility, the logo is just one more sticker for the WG members. We can define a webpage to list all of the compatible implementations. Any implementations within WG can use the logo in their marketing slides. Why should we as a WG destroy the full effort of having a compatibility logo? 

Thanks

Emily,

That is exactly how Jakarta EE works today, and is the essence of the original proposal.

At the moment, we are discussing logo vs. no logo. Is it possible to compromise the two options?

We can have a compatibility logo but for WG members only. However, non WG members are allowed to claim compatibility without the legal right of using the compatibility logo. Being a member and non-member, the only difference is the logo access.

Thoughts?
