Re: [microprofile-wg] [DISCUSSION] Sponsoring Community Day for Java Developers at EclipseCon
|
This is to confirm that the steering committee agreed to approve the $3K
sponsorship for Community Day for Java Developers at EclipseCon.
Discussion is always welcome regardless, especially for folks not in
attendance.

Hi folks,
This email is to start a discussion on sponsoring Community Day for
Java Developers at EclipseCon 2023 for $3K. It is the precursor to
hopefully a very short proposal approval vote.
As you may be aware, we have been trying to leverage Community Day for
the past few years to try to advance MicroProfile and Jakarta EE
messaging. If you are unaware, this should provide more context:
https://microprofile.io/2022/12/16/jakarta-ee-and-microprofile-at-eclipsecon-community-day-2022/.
This year, the objective is to take things to the next level by more
carefully organizing and promoting the event under hopefully the more
compelling moniker "Community Day for Java Developers" and also adding
Java SE/JDK related content via the Adoptium working group. Both the
Jakarta EE and Adoptium working groups are key sponsors already and
iJUG is the key organizer. The meta objective here is to create an
event in Europe that serves as a catalyst for promoting Adoptium,
Jakarta EE and MicroProfile - where there is a certain level of
control over content and messaging. This will be a make or break year
that can serve as the basic template for this longer term plan.
I believe this is something very important for the MicroProfile
working group to support via a $3K sponsorship with an outlook
congruent to a long term investment. As a result, the effort will be
positioned as something that is supported jointly by the Adoptium,
Jakarta EE and MicroProfile working groups. There is some level of
agreement between Microsoft, IBM, Payara and Tomitribe on this
proposal (though all members should clearly speak for themselves
here). There is some context in the marketing meeting minutes:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/12Fqp_N4HYjEXs-jbdkGTPDJceHu0GKJMkUD5kd6nJvc/edit?usp=sharing.
The Jakarta EE and Adoptium working groups very warmly welcome help
and contribution from the MicroProfile working group towards this effort.
Can folks kindly share their thoughts on putting this to vote for
approval? A simple +1 suffices and is nonetheless helpful for folks
short on time. I am hoping to start the vote later this week. This is
somewhat time sensitive as Community Day for Java Developers is
already moving forward. Please help?
Thanks,
Reza
P.S.: As a matter of fine print, the Jakarta EE and Adoptium working
groups are putting in a lot more than $3K (about three times more in
fact). This will have no bearing in positioning the event as a joint
effort between the Adoptium, Jakarta EE and MicroProfile working
groups. I think it's obvious this works significantly in favor of this
working group. It's a very good value proposition.
