The JCP PMO organized a press seminar in Tokyo, Japan, as part of the series of press activities
in conjunction with face-to-face JCP EC meetings. The event proved to be an ideal opportunity for
local press to leverage the presence of the JCP EC members in Tokyo. The press seminar was hosted by
NTT DoCoMo and executive speakers included: Onno Kluyt, JCP Program Chair; and the following JCP EC
members: Ed Cobb, BEA; Michael Bechauf, SAP, and Pentti Savolainen, Nokia. The presentations focused
on compatibility, evolving the technology via binary standards, participation, flexibility, and
transparency. Onno Kluyt spoke about the power of Java to build communities, create opportunity and
generate innovation. The event was very well attended by local press - over 20 Japanese reporters
participated, and generated significant coverage. See below for links to articles (in Japanese).

The Sun office in Seoul, Korea organized a JCP Training session for all its licensees and customers,
drawing phenomenal attendance. JCP Program Manager, Liz Kiener, delivered a day of JCP Training to a
mixed crowd of new JCP members, non members, future Expert Group members and future Spec Leads. For
many of the attendees the JCP program and the process was new. The interactive training was a
success and the PMO received favorable notes and comments.
Watch the jcp.org home page for the 2006 training calendar. The training is free of charge and open to
everyone. The PMO sets up training for small groups upon request in the San Francisco Bay Area and is
also available for kickoff meetings of Expert Groups. Spec Leads can request the PMO's presence on
first conference calls or face to face meetings if the PMO is in the area or the meeting is in the
Bay Area.
Questions regarding training should be addressed to Liz@jcp.org

 On 1 October BenQ Mobile officially became a new business group of BenQ Corporation.
This transition completed BenQ's June announcement to acquire Siemens Mobile Devices
Division. BenQ Mobile's headquarters will remain in Munich and over 7,000 employees
will continue to be entirely dedicated to the development, sales and marketing of
wireless communication devices.
This transition is significant to the Java ME community because it instantly makes BenQ the 3rd
largest contributor of Java ME technology behind Sun Microsystems and Nokia. 9 of the 11 JSRs
that Siemens Mobile was spec lead, including the spec leads and know-how, will transition to
BenQ Mobile. In addition, spec leads of other Java ME JSRs should have received requests for
Siemens Mobile representation on JSR Expert Groups
to be converted to BenQ Mobile. Any questions or concerns regarding
this transition should be directed to Calinel Pasteanu at BenQ Mobile (calinel.pasteanu@ siemens .com).
Get more information on this transition.
