The JCP Executive Committees are gathering in Silicon Valley on Jan 13-14. On the evening of Jan 13, there will be a party to celebrate the JCP's 10th Anniversary and local developers are invited to come and meet the EC members as well as local JSR Expert Group members that are expected to be in attendance that night. You can register for this free PARTY here:
http://jcp.eventbrite.com As I blogged about recently, I am a newbie to the JCP myself and my sense is that the environment is ripe for real positive changes to occur: http://weblogs.java.net/blog/van_riper/archive/2009/01/the_audacity_of_1.html Another fellow JUG Leader (he is also an expert group member on JSRs 316/317/318) posted his thoughts on how to open up the JCP more. It is a bit longer than mine, but, I like what he has to say: http://www.jroller.com/agoncal/entry/everybody_should_be_able_to Anyway, I know the current JSR process is not perfect. The good news is that there seems to be consensus among the Executive Committee members to do something about it. If you care passionately about Java (as I know many of you on this list do) and you are not already involved, this could be your opportunity to get engaged in the process.
