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

Open Community for Java 2024 has just ended, and I am now in Tokyo to speak at JJUG CCC 2024 Fall. This will be my last conference of a pretty busy October which included travels to four different continents: Africa, North America(2), Europe, and Asia.

Some great news! I am happy to announce that IBM has filed a Compatibility Certification Request (CCR) for Jakarta EE 11 Core Profile with Open Liberty, 24.0.0.11-beta. This means that we have an implementation that implements the specification and passes the TCK so we will be able to release Jakarta EE 11 Core Profile. Red Hat is also just around the corner with a release of WildFly that passes the Core Profile TCK as well.

JakartaOne Livestream 2024 is coming up on December 3, 2024. Now that Open Community for Java is over, we can focus fully on this. The program and speaker lineup is almost ready and will be published shortly. We can look forward to a full day of amazing content from top-class speakers this year as well.

As always, we have a competition to tickle your creative side in the weeks prior to the conference. This year’s task is to use elements from the nature and create the Jakarta EE logo. In order to enter the competition, you must showcase your creation on social media and make sure you mention the Jakarta EE, or JakartaOne Livestream handles when you do that.
