Welcome to issue number two hundred and eighty-eight of Hashtag Jakarta EE!
Summer is upon us, and the activity of most open source projects slows down a little. Jakarta EE is no exception. Now that Jakarta EE 11 finally is released, the focus of the Jakarta EE Platform project is now Jakarta EE 12.
I have a couple of conferences coming up in July. First I will go to Berlin for We Are Developers World Congress on July 1-11. This will be my second time visiting this conference. The week after, I will go to Santo Domingo for JConf Dominicana. Also my second time at this conference. This year, I will hold a Jakarta EE workshop together with Alfonso Valdez, as well as a talk on how to integrate AI in Jakarta EE applications.
From June 30, 2005, Sonatype has shut town OSSRH and all namespaces have been migrated to Central Publisher Portal. Since the process of releasing Jakarta EE specifications rely heavily on being able to stage the artifacts for some time before publishing to Maven Central, this is causing some issues for us. We are working with the Eclipse Foundation IT team to find a solution we can adapt our process to.
