JUGM-23April-2024: Java Community Process Executive Committee

Beschreibung

Meet members of the Executive Committee.

The Executive Committee (EC) is the group of Members guiding the evolution of Java technology in the Java Community Process (JCP). The EC represents both major stakeholders and a representative cross-section of the Java Community. The EC is responsible for approving the passage of specifications through key points of the JCP and for reconciling discrepancies between specifications and their associated test suites. Originally there were two ECs (the SE/EE EC and the ME EC); these were merged with JCP 2.9.

Talk 1 - Intro to JCP

Much of the success of the Java programming language can be attributed to how the language evolves and how the worldwide community of Java developers collaborates in that evolution. It is you— members of the Java community who makes that possibility a reality.

The Java Community Process (JCP) Program is the process by which the international Java community standardizes and ratifies the specifications for Java technologies. We are celebrating 25 years of community collaboration in the JCP program and looking forward to the future innovations and community collaboration in the years to come. Learn what’s new in the platform and how to participate in the community.

The JCP has evolved over time from that first version of the process, with each iteration of the JCP revised every update to the JCP has focused on maintaining the value of community collaboration together with the JCP Executive Committee.

Talk 3 - Java and Green Masterplan

Miro Wengner

Without changing current policies, the OECD predicts that by 2050 the world economy will be four times larger than it is today. It means generating an 80% increase in the amount of energy we consume. Rising the importance of Artificial Intelligence and other advanced, calculation intensive, techniques only increases to the energy necessity. The prediction can lead to rethinking developed or newly launched applications from different perspectives. Energy consumption is slowly becoming part of the equation.

In this presentation, we explore the “green” benefits of various platforms and languages ??(C, NodeJS, Java, Python, etc.). By filing similar cases to maintain fairness, we will collectively reveal the improvements that have been made throughout the evolution of the Java platform to today's new and last LTS release, Java 21.
