Welcome to issue number three hundred and thirteen of Hashtag Jakarta EE! This is the last Hashtag Jakarta EE of 2025. It is also a pretty short one since it is in the midst of the Holidays. A fun fact is that 313 (the number of this Hashtag) is the license plate number on Donald Duck's car. We will be back with the Jakarta EE Platform call on…

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

If you missed any of the calls, you can always check out the…

Since I already was in Paris to speak at the Paris JUG, I took the opportunity to attend Open Source Experience 2025 where Eclipse Foundation was a sponsor. It was great to be able to hang out with my colleagues and also help out a little at the booth. I had some really interesting conversations about the Eclipse Foundation Specification Process (EFSP), how it is applied for Jakarta EE and the specification process works for Jakarta EE and how it would fit entirely other areas such as specifying standards around electric vehicle charging.

On Tuesday last week, I presented The Past, Present, and Future of Enterprise Java at the Paris JUG. The event started with a talk by Greg Wilkins about how Jetty is Staying relevant with Open Source driven innovation after 30 years. This was a special event celebrating the 30-year anniversary of Eclipse Jetty. After Greg's talk, I did my…

Welcome to issue number three hundred and eleven of Hashtag Jakarta EE! Last week I was in Paris where I spoke about Jakarta EE at the Paris JUG. I will post something about this in the upcoming week. I also attended the Open Source Experience while I was there. Expect a couple of posts about these two events shortly.

Welcome to issue number three hundred and ten of Hashtag Jakarta EE! The conference year is getting closer to the end. Last week, I was in Ottawa for JakartaOne Livestream 2025 and next week I will go to Paris to speak at the Paris JUG as well as attend Open Source Experience while I am there. These will be the last events for me in 2025, but as you can see on my…

JakartaOne Livestream 2025 is a wrap! This was the seventh time we did the livestream, so we are getting used to it. This year we also had a professional production crew helping us out, and we also chose to switch platforms to stream on YouTube rather than what we have been using previous years. The Livestream lasts for almost 12 hours, so it is a very long day.

Welcome to issue number three hundred and nine of Hashtag Jakarta EE! I am currently in Ottawa with Tanja and Shabnam preparing JakartaOne Livestream 2025. This is the seventh edition of JakartaOne Livestream, so you would assume we know what to do at this point. Which I guess we do. As previous years, I will be in Studio Jakarta EE with 

Welcome to issue number three hundred and eight of Hashtag Jakarta EE! Last week, I spoke at Aviero Open Source Connect and Devoxx Morocco 2025. This concluded a very busy November for me. Conference season slows down in December, and I have only two events planned. First up is JakartaOne Livestream. Then I will go to Paris to speak at the…

This was my eight visit to Morocco and second time to Marrakech. Devoxx Morocco is one of my absolute favorite conferences and the 2025 edition was no exception. The relaxed vibe of this conference is awesome, the food is excellent, not to mention the location. This year, Rustam and I did our talk titled Duke on CRaC with Jakarta EE…

Last week, I was invited by my colleagues at Eclipse Research to do a talk at Aveiro Open Source Connect. Rosaria and André opened the show with an introduction to Open Source best practices, licenses, and how Eclipse Research helps in EU Research projects. I followed up with at talk on how we develop specifications and standards at Eclipse Foundation with Jakarta EE as an example.
