A couple of recent
Brazil-related news
events suggested the
theme for this column:
Java in Brazil. First,
the annual International
Free Software Forum
(FISL) was recently held
in Porto Alegre, Brazil.
FISL is one of the
world's most important
free software

In last month's article I
wrote about Open Source
and Open Standards. This
month, having just
returned from the QCon
conference (http://jaoo.d
k/london-2008/conference/
) in London, during which
I discussed the role of
community in the JCP, and
particularly the role

As I write this article
the 2008 FOSDEM
(www.fosdem.org/2008/)
(Free and Open Source
software Developers
European Meeting) is
about to start. Of

read this the meeting
will be long over (that's
the name of the game with
publishing deadlines)...
As I recently spoke at
the Java Mobile &
Embedded Developer Days
conference at Sun's Santa
Clara campus, and the
yearly Mobile World
Congress conference was
held in Barcelona in
February, and the
majority of the JSRs that
have been active in the
past few weeks are...

the past and to think

I'll address these themes
in this month's column.
But first I'd like to
wish you all a peaceful
and successful New Year.
It's been a year of
steady...
In October we announced
the winners of the first
round of this year's JCP
elections, during which
members voted for three
Sun-nominated candidates
on each Executive
Committee (EC). To
refresh your memory, the
winners on the Java ME EC
were Research in Motion
(RIM)...
The first round of this
year's JCP elections is
complete. In this round
Sun nominates members for
election to six ratified
seats on the Executive
Committees (ECs): three
seats on the Java ME
Executive Committee (EC)
and three on the Java
SE/EE EC. A second round

This is election time for
the JCP: five seats on
the Java ME Executive
Committee (EC) and five
seats on the Java SE/EE
EC are up for
re-election. All JCP
members are eligible to
vote and may cast one
vote for each seat (hence
the recommendation to
vote often). The...
In last month's column
Onno Kluyt announced that
he would be handing over
the role of JCP chair to
me. I'd like to take this
opportunity to thank Onno
for all of the effort
he's put into the JCP
over the past several
years, to thank the
hard-working staff of the
