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

I am in the middle of a trip across Europe that started at DevCon in in Bucharest, Rumania and continued to SFSCon in Bolzano, Italy. Right now, I am on my way to Milan and Turin to talk at the Java User Groups there. Check out the agenda for JUG Milano on Monday and JUG Torino on Tuesday. Rosaria from Research at Eclipse will join me at both these events and do an opening talk titled Java & Skills: a research activities in research@eclipse.

Jakarta EE 11 Core Profile is just about ready for release review. Everything is ready and all artefacts are staged or published according to the Jakarta EE Specification Process (JESP).

The Jakarta EE TCT Project is working heroically to finalize the TCK so we will be able to have the release reviews for Jakarta EE 11 Platform and Jakarta EE 11 Web Profile underway in the beginning of December. The goal is to have them completed, or at least ongoing when JakartaOne Livestream is happening on December 3, 2024.

I’ll end here with some pictures from the last couple of days. Until next week…
