Welcome to issue number two hundred and forty-three of Hashtag Jakarta EE!

Even if progress is being made with refactoring the Jakarta EE Platform TCK, the effort is in desperate need of more resources to complete the work in a timely matter. If you have any experience with TCK work, your help would be greatly appreciated!

An Interest Group called Jakarta EE Future Directions has been initiated. You can join it by signing up on the group mailing list. The purpose of the group is to gather ideas and input from the industry and community for how to evolve Jakarta EE. Ideas and suggestions coming out of this group will be brought forward to the relevant Jakarta EE project(s) for potential inclusion in future releases.

I am on my way back from the LAOUC Community Tour 2024 stop in Paraguay. This was a soft kickoff for my fall conference season that really starts in September and will go on throughout December. Check out the list of appearances (updated continuously).
