Ericsson AB

Ericsson has a long history with standardization within many different standardization forums such as 3GPP, IEE etc. Within JCP Ericsson is engaged in all aspects of Java standardization and especially in defining the next version of the Java EE platform. Ericsson has participated in over 40 JSRs, and has been the spec lead for several (e.g. JSR-281, JSR-319).
Ericsson is also contributing in other ways, such as releasing our SIP-servlet container to the open source community in order to provide enhanced communication capabilities closely associated with Java EE. Java plays an increasing role in the emerging all IP communication networks and for us Java EE servers and SIP servlets are a logical choice to enable quick development of new services within the telecommunication industry.
Ericsson nominates Magnus Lönnroth. He is specialized in middleware/internet and database technologies with broad knowledge of relevant software topics. He is a strong supporter of open technologies and was a charter member of the World Wide Web Consortium's Mobile Web Initiative (W3C MWI) and worked in the Steering Council between May 2005 and Dec 2009. Magus has pioneered database-driven web technology, server-side Java, and Java/CORBA integration and has led the implementation of several very large Java-based mobile data services.
Now Ericsson seeks your support for our nomination of Magnus Lönnroth in order to offer technology leadership and strong support to evolve the JCP and to promote Java as the technology of choice for the telecom industry. We will work for openness and transparency within the Java standardization and continue our contributions within the standardization and open source communities.
