Welcome to issue number three hundred and fortieth of Hashtag Jakarta EE!

The Code the Continuum hackathon was a very inspiring event with lots of excellent solutions using Jakarta EE, AI among other things. I will shortly publish a blog post about the event. It is incredible what a team of students can come up with and produce during a couple of days of collaboration.

While waiting for that post, check out my article Enterprise-Grade Artificial Intelligence with Jakarta EE in the Eclipse Foundation newsletter.

Jakarta EE 12 is progressing with expeced updates in the form of milestones coming up shortly for Jakarta Security and Jakarta Faces. Among other things, Jakarta Security is adding (or formalising) integration with Jakarta RESTful Web Services in the specification. Since we are in the summer and vacation period for the northern hemisphere, it is even more important to make sure your favourite specification project does not loose momentum in this period. Make sure to leave the project in a good state when taking some well deserved time off. Go through the issue tracker and do a little triage to mark up issues where you want help, or those that are good for first time contributors.
