Welcome to issue number two hundred and seventy-nine of Hashtag Jakarta EE!
The service outage is more than just your regular neighborhood outage. It seems to be a massive breakdown of a storage cluster that is a central piece on which all the Jenkins CI instances depend. The Jakarta EE TCK project has asked for a restoration from an old backup to continue the work on finalizing the Jakarta EE 11 TCK. We are crossing our fingers that this will be available soon.
Luckily, the outage does not affect the Jakarta EE 12 Plan Reviews, so they go according to plan. Check out the status board for the current status.
My next conference will be JCON Europe in Cologne on May 12-15. The talk I will have there is with Rustam about how to use CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) with Jakarta EE. Make sure to come to this session for a fun introduction to CRaC and Jakarta EE.
Besides this session, you can also meet me at the Eclipse Foundation booth in the exhibition area. Tanja and I will staff the booth together with some of our most eager community members.
