Hello All,
The Jakarta EE Committees do valuable work on behalf of the working group and the community. While these committees are led by the Strategic members of the working group,the governance structure provides for representation by the Participant member organizations and Committer members.
A few of these positions have recently become vacant on the Jakarta EE Steering Committee (1), as well as Marketing and Brand Committee (2). TheWorking Group has decided to run an election to fill these seats now, rather than waiting until the next scheduled election period next year.
We invite all eligible members that are either a Committer member (employed by a Participant company or an individual Committer member), or you are employed by a Participant member to please consider running for the positions. Self-nominations are strongly encouraged as well.
Nominations may be sent to elections@xxxxxxxxxxx. Nominations are open until October 21.
Once nominations are closed, we will distribute ballots to eligible voters (i.e., Participant member representatives and to Committer members) shortly thereafter, with the election running from October 24 - November 4. The results will be announced on November 6.
Election Schedule
Nomination period: October 12 - October 21 (self nominations are welcome)
Election period: October 24 - November 4
Winning candidates announced: November 6
