From the PMO


  • On September 24 the JCP program hosted a webinar on JSR development transparency.
    The meeting was held via WebEx. Members of the JCP program office demo-ed tools currently available on jcp.org and fellow spec leads Doug Lea and Mihir Kulkarni shared information on tools and techniques they had used with their JSRs. The demos and presentations were followed by a brief Q&A. The meeting was recorded and will be published on jcp.org.
  • The JCP is kicking off its annual EC Elections on October 7. For an overview of the elections process, the results of previous EC elections and the time line for 2008 click here.
  • The JCP PMO just introduced last month a new section on jcp.org IN THE SPOTLIGHT. In it the PMO highlights members' accomplishments and the thoughts they expressed about the JCP program over time. Should you like the PMO to highlight your contribution to the JCP or a colleague's please contact corina@jcp.org.
