Java Logo Programs Available
Now it's easier than ever to access Duke images. A logo library of 15 Duke images is now available for use in a variety of places such as web sites, blogs and email signatures. Duke is for everyone--pass along the word.

The Java Get Powered logo is available for Java enthusiasts and developers who want to show their affiliation with the Java community.
Take the quiz for access to the logo.

You can also host the download button and provide a direct link for your visitors to the latest version of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE); if you are interested in hosting the button.
 
And if you would like to display the JCP Member logo, apply here.

Java Platform Naming Reminder
Hello Java EE, Java SE, and Java ME! Back in 2005, Sun Microsystems announced a new Java naming convention, whereby future versions of the platform would be called "Java EE 5", "Java SE 6", and "Java ME". A few members of the Java community are using "JEE", "JSE", and "JME" as shorthand. We'd like to encourage you to spell out "Java" - i.e. Java EE, Java SE, and Java ME as "JEE", "JSE", and "JME" have different meanings that are not associated with Java technology. For example, a Google search on "JEE" returns topics unrelated to Java EE. Please take a few minutes to understand the reasons for the new naming schema, which are spelled out in this article (FAQs and a 1-pager are also available here).
