Welcome to issue number two hundred and fifty-three of Hashtag Jakarta EE!
I had six days at home in October. November will give me thirteen days at home, and no long-haul flights planned. But there will still be quite a bit of traveling around Europe. On the first trip, I will start with DevCon in Bucharest, followed by SFSCon in Bolzano, and top it off with JUG Milano and JUG Torino.
The week after the Italian tour, I will speak at the JUGs in Prague and Brno, which will be my first time visiting Czechia. I will then go to Portugal to speak at my final in-person conference of 2024 at Porto Tech Hub.
The Jakarta EE 11 Core Profile API is ready and staged in the Jakarta EE Staging Repository. The specification document is ready, and there are two compatible implementations that have filed CCRs (Compatible Certification Requests). This means that as soon as the i’s have been dotted and t’s have been crossed, Jakarta EE 11 Core Profile will start its release review.
For the Jakarta EE 11 Platform and Jakarta EE 11 Web Profile specifications, the plan is to have the release sometime around JakartaOne Livestream on December 3.
