Welcome to the forty-fifth issue of Hashtag Jakarta EE!

Look at that! All Jakarta EE 9 Specification ballots are either ongoing or done!

This means that given the ballots are completed successfully, we are ready to release Jakarta EE 9 on Friday, November 20, 2020.

Wednesday this week, we visited the Swedish JUGs in an event organized by Javaforum on our Jakarta EE Virtual Tour. This week, the tour continues to Serbia and NišJUG. Sign up here.

The election for the Java Community Process Executive Committee is going on. The election is open for votes until November 16. Submit your vote today! And remember that a vote for Eclipse Foundation is a vote for the Open Source Community!
