Re: [jakarta.ee-community] Jakarta Tech Talks, meetups starting January 2019 with Jakarta EE NoSQL
It's not about us. It's really about our audience. People are currently confused about Jakarta EE and MicroProfile:
1) Some think that they are one and the same
2) Some think that MicroProfile is a subset of Jakarta EE (this is actually giving ammo to some competitors that are trying to pin MicroProfile with the unpopular perception that app servers are heavy and slow)
3) Some think that MicroProfile is now unnecessary because Jakarta EE will absolve it.

I know we have been trying to clarify this via interviews, blog posts, etc. But there's still confusion (that's leading to FUD) in the market about how these two projects relate.

I'm afraid that calling these talks "Jakarta Tech Talks", and include everything about cloud-native under the Eclipse Foundation, will continue to generate confusion in our audience. If I may make a suggestion, I'd rename these talks to "Eclipse Cloud-native Tech Talks", which is more inclusive of all technologies, not just Jakarta EE, and it really reflects the spirit of these talks.

My $0.02,
Cesar

Let's remember that "Jakarta" is in the generic sense "Java".  We have "Jakarta EE" to qualify the Enterprise Edition aspects.  But, we should think of "Jakarta" like "Java", so the "Jakarta Tech Talks" should entertain anything and everything related to Java.  Based on Tanja's last reply, that sounds like our direction.  Thanks.

+1

MicroProfile should be seen a s a compliment and addition to Java EE/ Jakara EE for certain scenarios, not a competitor.
Eventually some parts may be merged into the standard, take the likes of Hibernate, Spring Batch or other technologies that shaped the content of the Java EE stack before.

Amelia is correct in some regards...  MicroProfile is its own entity, separate from Jakarta EE.  We have our own Marketing committee.  We have our own forums, we produce our own blogs, we present at conferences, etc.  But, we also need to recognize that we are part of the Eclipse Foundation family.  I have witnessed the support for MicroProfile by the Eclipse Foundation at several conferences this past year.  Along with the Eclipse newsletter, vBlogs, tweets, keynotes -- Eclipse Foundation fundamentally supports the MicroProfile efforts.  As they do with Jakarta EE.

So, in my opinion, if these Jakarta Tech Talks want to include topics related to MicroProfile, I think that's great!  Maybe a slight tweak in the name would help -- Jakarta and MicroProfile Tech Talks, if that's doable.  Otherwise, if we have any MicroProfile-specific talks, we can indicate that we are still a separate project as part of our introduction and then move into the details.  This should be considered yet another opportunity for the MicroProfile team to spread the word about the great work we're doing.

Now, with all of that explanation...  If the Jakarta Community would rather keep these Jakarta Tech Talks narrowed to just the Jakarta EE projects, then that's fine also.  No hard feelings.  But, if we are invited to participate in these Tech Talks, let's do it!  Thanks!

Tanja,

Thanks for sending link to to enable Jakarta Tech Talks meetup group, just joined! :)
Thus far 26 Jakartees, lets participate beautiful Community.

I noticed MicroProfile being added to the sessions under the Jakarta talks. As a MicroProfiler Co-founder, I am requesting the immediate removal from the list today.
As stated in 2018 via many MicroProfile blogs and Q&A, the MicroProfile project will continue to be its own project, not under the Jakarta EE Project.
The MicroProfile project will manage via its community of volunteers 100% of all its marketing initiatives.

Lastly, I will follow up via the MicroProfile forum clarification on the latest Marketing MP call meeting with respect to that matter that continues to be brought in to the calls by the EF team.
Re-stating via this forum that the MP project won’t be marketed with the Jakarta EE project.
