As a part of our joint development activities around "one box platform" supporting Oracle's secure service delivery platform based on Java, Freescale is also joining the Java Community Process (JCP) to work with Oracle and other JCP members on standard technical specifications for the Java platform. Our focus in the JCP will initially be on Java for resource-constrained processing platforms. We will also work with Oracle and other JCP members on new and enhanced Java APIs to improve the support for IoT protocols, and features available on MCUs and edge/ sensing nodes. Furthermore, we are working directly with Oracle on optimizing the MQX^TM RTOS to work as a native hardware abstraction layer (HAL) to work optimally with Oracle Java ME Embedded.

This is the new horizon for Java developers and we would like to enable the Java community to use Java ME on MCUs and other resource constrained devices. The work that we already have done with Java ME as a part of the new Freescale+Oracle IoT platform, can be a guiding light to the rest of the community, for what needs to be done.

Gemalto M2M GmbH, formerly Cinterion Wireless Modules GmbH started as a spin-off from Siemens Mobile Phones, pioneering cellular connectivity for machine to machine (M2M) communication. Gemalto M2M offers a broad range of cellular M2M connectivity solutions spanning from 2G to 4G, a variety of SIM and MIM running JavaCard as well as M2M cloud platform. Gemalto M2M has been engaged for more than 10 years in Java for M2M. The JSR195 (IMP) introduced 2003 together with Nokia was the first Java ME profile for headless devices, followed by the JSR228 (IMP-NG) which was created in 2005. Today Gemalto M2M offers a broad portfolio of Java enabled cellular modules. In addition, ready to use development environments such as the "Concept Board" and gateway boxes enable a fast start into Java for M2M.

We in Gemalto M2M strongly believe in Java as the ideal platform for M2M and the Internet of things, today and in the future. Therefore for the next term we would like to further promote Java in the M2M space and the embedded developer community and also support the convergence process of Java ME and Java SE.

Goldman Sachs is a financial services firm built on its global technology enterprise. Development at the firm is overwhelmingly Java-based, with more than 130 million lines of Java code under management, and more than 3,000 developers in its Java user group implementing systems which are then leveraged by over 10,000 end-users.

Goldman Sachs custom-builds most of its software, and its historical reliance on open source components, as well as its extensive multi-vendor relationships, give it deep experience with problems of interoperability and systems/software integration. As a major consumer of Java, Goldman Sachs is thus deeply invested in its future, and seeks to contribute to Java standards. We remain committed to the continued evolution of Java, both through the innovation of the broad Java community, and the ongoing process of standardization.

The firm participates on both individual and corporate levels in a broad range of industry forums and leadership groups, including: Java One (presenting "Java on 40,000 desktops"); The Hong Kong Java User Group (which is run by a member of the firm); contributions to the Fitnesse acceptance testing framework; and various open source projects, including Zookeeper, the Trove Collections framework and OpenJDK. Goldman Sachs is an active participant in the JCP EC and several JSR Expert Groups, We have hosted Java User Group meet ups in London and New York. We have open sourced GS Collections, a Lambda-Ready Java Collections Framework.

As a member of the JCP Executive Committee, our representative, John Weir, would put particular focus on ways to advance the role of Java in the enterprise, and on furthering cross-vendor integration. Areas of specific interest include management features, parallel processing, serialization, cloud / dynamic computing and security.

He worked for over 25 years as Program Manager, Coach, SW architect and consultant for Finance, Mobile, Media, Tansport and Public sector. Werner is Eclipse and Apache Committer and JCP member in JSRs like 333 (JCR), 342 (Java EE 7), 354 (Money), 358/364 (JCP.next), Java ME 8, 362 (Portlet 3), 363 (Units, also Spec Lead), 365 (CDI 2) and the Executive Committee.

I have been a professional software developer since age of 15, and have used Java in a range of industries from e-commerce, media delivery, mobile, and adtech. I've used Java in anger since 1998 (and Java made me angry back then) and was a member of the JCP EC for 7 years representing the Apache Software foundation until 2010. During my tenure as EC rep, the ASF won EC Member of the Year three times. I have been heavily involved in open source over the years, having served several times as a Director of the ASF, and helped co-found and lead several Apache projects, including Apache Geronimo (Java EE), Apache Harmony (Java SE) and other projects. In 2010, I retired from JCP activities at the conclusion of the Apache-Sun/Oracle dispute over open and fair access to TCK licenses. While I remain a Member of the Apache Software Foundation (ASF), I am running as an independent individual, and do not and will not speak for the Apache Software Foundation.

I'm running because I have never lost my interest in the JCP and the governance of the Java ecosystem - I just needed a break. I continue to believe that the Java ecosystem is by far the best general purpose development platform we have available today, and I believe that with continued good governance, will be the best general purposed development platform for the foreseeable future. I am an active developer - I write and deploy code to production multiple times per week. I think that I can bring a valuable perspective to the JCP, one that spans commercial enterprise development, commercial individual/consultant development and community-oriented open source development, and this perspective incorporates an understanding of the balance between the needs of commercial development and the value of open source and free software. Finally I believe that my years of experience representing the ASF on the EC gives me a solid understanding of the general dynamics at play in the ecosystem, and will be able to leverage that experience as a representative of the individual practitioner.
