Welcome to issue number one hundred and sixty-six of Hashtag Jakarta EE!

After a fairly busy start to 2023 with regard to conferences and travel, I am now taking some take off for vacation. And what better thing to do on your vacation than travel some more? Since I have switched bits and bytes with sun and surf, I will keep this Hashtag fairly short.

The Jakarta EE hackathon organized by Payara is going on. While I am on vacation, the participants are coding to win up to £3000. As soon as I am home, I will start the process of judging the work since I am one of the judges. I look very much forward to seeing what the participants are able to come up with.

The Monthly Jakarta EE Platform Architecture call is coming up next week. Make sure to join this call to make your voice heard in the planning for Jakarta EE 11.

The call is scheduled for 11:00 AM ET on February 7, 2023. Check the public calendar for details on how to join.
