Top of mind for Jared, James

• Jared out today. James is running the meeting.
• OSSRH status update.
  • Currently holding up some service releases for NoSQL and Data at least
  • Still working on staging issues
    • Open questions:
      • Do we need a Nexus 3 staging repository?
      • What other options are there for staging?
• Spec committee opened PRs against all repos for review and merging as discussed in Andrew’s email.
  • Please follow-up with your project’s spec leads

Jakarta EE 12

• ACTION: Ed to mine Retrospective - Jakarta EE 11 for actionable work to move to platform-1109.
• MP and Jakarta update
  • Not much progress so far. The strawpoll has effectively failed so far.
  • Look at moving MicroProfile Config to Jakarta. It seems feasible given the conversation in the MP technical call last week.
  • Likely splitting into two parts:
    • Programmatic lookup
    • CDI lookup
  • Attempting to launch another ballot about a namespace change.
  • Namespace change for MP Config:
    • Should the programmatic API namespace change and leave the CDI namespace?
    • Most MP specs rely on config. This would be a breaking change. Splitting the namespace might help as most specifications use CDI for config.
• New Query specification:
  • Should this be part of Jakarta EE 12? It will affect persistence and data.
• Look at NoSQL as well to see if it can be part of Jakarta EE 12.
  • There hasn’t been a response to whether the native NoSQL vendors have any interest in this.
  • From conversation at conferences this seems like something developers really want. MongoDB seems to be the current preferred option.
• We should also consider looking at Jakarta MVC for Jakarta EE 12 as well.
