Welcome to issue number two hundred and thirty-seven of Hashtag Jakarta EE!

After a couple of weeks at home, I am going on the road again. First off is JConfDomincana, the Caribbean Java Technologies Conference organized by the Dominican Republic Java User Group, where I will host a workshop together with Eudris. The topic of the workshop is creating RESTful Web Services with Jakarta EE.

As mentioned in last week’s Hashtag Jakarta EE, the refactoring of the Jakarta EE TCK is what we are waiting for to be able to release Jakarta EE 11. The TCK project has now set up a Jakarta EE 11 TCK Release GitHub Board where we can follow the progress of this work.

I also mentioned that the Jakarta EE Platform project has started planning for Jakarta EE 12. To facilitate this planning, we would really like to have YOUR which you can provide by completing the 2024 Cloud Native Java Technical Survey. Note that this survey is different from the Jakarta EE Developer Survey we conducted earlier this year.

The program for Open Community for Java will be published in the upcoming week. Meanwhile, you can check out the featured speakers and why not just register while you’re at it? The conference is in Mainz, Germany October 22-24.
