Requested to send out meetings immediately
following. Please send comments on 4/24 minutes in email.
3) Launch/Marketing Update

draft meeting minutes

site, build a messaging plan, and rolling marketing plan
- Good feedback at JAX
- Will work on scheduling community calls
- Useful launch statistics
David: Can we get links from the Oracle Java EE
Twitter account to the Jakarta EE twitter account. Will follow
up with David.
4) Spec Committee update
From Paul:
It would appear there is no time that is convenient
for everyone to hold these meetings. Certainly not surprising
given the multiple time zones, but something we’ll need to
work out collectively.
One approach may have to be that we hold the meeting at
alternating times. e.g., 10:00 AM one week, and noon the next
week. (all times EDT for convenience)
I will schedule the first meeting for May 4 at 11:00 EDT as
(hopefully) a compromise. I know this doesn’t work for all,
but it at least is a time for us to start - and can take it
from there.
Comments/suggestions welcome.
We need input from the spec committee on whether we can work out
these logistics or an alternative.
A first request to the Spec Committee is to define requirements
for the specification process, in addition to defining the
process itself.
David requested that the meeting be scheduled such
that critical Pacific Time attendees can participate at least
initially.
Wayne will push out some preparation/homework for the
first meeting - a proto spec requirements document. One of the
requirements will be to fit in to the Eclipse process.
Our working assumption is that the Jakarta EE brand
will be obtained by demonstration of conformance to
specifications that are created by the spec process. So the
spec committee is driving branding.
5) Technical Vision update
Any update from the PMC and Platform Project
Committers on proposing a technical direction?
No progress. Next PMC meeting is next week. Will be on the
agenda.
