Welcome to issue number two hundred and seventeen of Hashtag Jakarta EE!
I am now on my way home after a week in North America where I spoke at Philly JUG and ConFoo, my second tour overseas this year. The upcoming month will be dedicated to Europe. First up is Malmö JUG on February 29. Then I will go to Hasselt in Belgium for the Belgian JUG on March 19 (event to be announced), and finally Voxxed Days Bucharest from March 27 to March 29.
Milestone 2 of Jakarta EE 11 is coming up shortly. The plan is to have it released at the beginning of March after the release reviews of the component specifications included are started. Check out the Jakarta EE 11 Release Plan for details.
While waiting for Jakarta EE 11, why not test out your skills with Jakarta EE 10 and participate in the second edition of the Payara Hackathon? If an opportunity to play with cool technology isn’t motivation enough, then look at the prices. You can win up to £3000. Yes, you got that right! 3000 British Pounds!
