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

This week I visited Czechia on a min-tour of a couple of Czech Java User Groups. I spoke at Prague JUG on Tuesday and Brno JUG on Wednesday. In the upcoming week, I will go to Porto to speak at Porto Tech Hub. This will be my first time speaking at this conference.

Some exciting news! Jakarta EE Core Profile 11 is finally under release review. There are two compatible implementations available as both WildFly and Open Liberty have passed the TCK. The ballot will conclude at the latest on December 4, but it may happen earlier if all members have voted. Hopefully, I will be able to share the same exciting news about the Jakarta EE Platform 11 and Jakarta EE Web Profile 11 soon. The work of modernizing and refactoring the TCK is still going on.

JakartaOne Livestream 2024 on December 3 is getting closer. If you haven’t created your Jakarta EE logo using elements of nature yet, there is still time. Remember, you can win great prizes!
