Welcome to issue number two hundred and eighty-six of Hashtag Jakarta EE!
As I mentioned in last week’s Hashtag Jakarta EE #285, this week the entire (or all those that were able to go) met at Esterel Resort an hour or so from Montreal. Several of my colleagues have highlighted the importance of such face-to-face gatherings in various posts and write-ups. Being a 100% remote organisation means that this is one of the few occasions we have to meet and socialise with our colleagues.
In edition to staff training, presentations from the executives, and various other parts of the foundation, we also had some time to socialise in fun activities such as zip-lining and morning runs.
Some of you may have noticed that the ballot for the Jakarta EE 11 Platform specification concluded this week. And the even more observant may have noticed that the various artefacts are available on the website and in Maven Central. There will be an official launch with press releases, analyst briefings, and celebrations to mark the release as officially released the upcoming week.
