Welcome to issue number two hundred and ninety-five of Hashtag Jakarta EE!
This week I toured South America on the LAOUC Community Tour 2025. I visited Buenos Aires and São Paulo. Even if it is not my usual Java crows, It is great to visit the communities on these tours.
The weekly Jakarta EE Platform calls will resume on Tuesday after a three-week break over summer. The main focus going forward now will be to define the first milestones of Jakarta EE 12. The first one is planned for September and will mostly contain practical preparations for the specification projects. We will also start the process of deciding which, if any, specifications to add to the Platform, and/or Profile.
This was the last of the somewhat thinner summer posts. I promise that from next week and onward, I will be able to provide more information.
