+<h3>4 February 2003 - JavaWorld article about the JCP mentions Jakarta's
involvement</h3>
+</a>
+ <p>
+Jason Hunter, the previous Expert Committee representative for the ASF,
+was recently quoted in depth in a
+<a href="http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-01-2003/jw-0131-jcp.html";>JavaWorld
+article about the JCP</a>. As you <a href="jspa-position.html">may or may not</a>
+know, the Apache Software Foundation has been a driving force in
+changing the JCP business model to accept open source practices. Please
+read the entire article, but of the many great quotes that Jason
+provided, this one stands out quite a bit because it reflects strongly
+on one of Jakarta's most active projects:
+</p>
+ <p>
+Chiefly, as a result of the open source community's increased
+involvement, those major JCP executive committee players are starting to
+see a need to mind the broader Java community's interests as well. "The
+issue now, with open source and community focus," notes Apache's Hunter,
+"is increasingly on JSR management."
+</p>
+ <p>
+Consider the case of JSR 154, the Java Servlet Specification. "According
+to the JCP rules, the spec lead makes the decisions, and the expert
+group members are there to advise," says Hunter. "In JSR 154, there has
+been a consistent pattern of expert opinion going one way and the spec
+lead, a newly appointed Sun representative, going exactly the opposite.
+That's okay once in a while, but how do you build a community where the
+majority of the expert group, people who have been there for years and
+are truly the world experts [on servlets], are being second-guessed
+without explanation?"
+</p>
+ <p>
+When the servlet spec comes up for the executive committee's vote, will
+Apache's representative vote to approve it? Don't hold your breath,
+advises Hunter. "Apache won't support a technology that was created
+without community support."
