Welcome to issue number three hundred and one of Hashtag Jakarta EE!
I am now in Colorado Springs waiting for my flight to Orlando. The dev2next conference was an amazing experience. So many great speakers, talks, and conversations. A blog post from the event is coming up shortly. The next event will be different. IBM TechXchange is significantly bigger and located in Orlando, Florida.
The voting for including Jakarta Query 1.0 in Jakarta EE 12 is underway. So far, all votes has been positive so it seems like it will make it. I think this is a great step forward for Jakarta EE as this specification will define a general query language for Java, very well suitable outside of the context of Jakarta EE.
The first milestone for Jakarta EE 12 is coming up in the middle of October, which is only about a week away. Stay tuned for more information as we move forward with this release.
