- by heathervc
The 10th JCP Annual Awards Nominations
are now open until 16 July 2012. Submit nominations to [email protected] or use form here.
The Java Community Process (JCP) program celebrates success.
Members of the community nominate worthy participants, Spec Leads, and
Java Specification Requests (JSRs) in order to cheer on the hard work
and creativity that produces ground-breaking results for the community
and industry in the Java Standard Edition (SE), Java Enterprise Edition
(EE), or Java Micro Edition (ME) platforms.
The community gets together every year at the JavaOne conference
to applaud in person the winners of three awards: JCP Member/Participant
of the Year, Outstanding Spec Lead, and Most Significant JSR. This
year’s unveiling will occur Tuesday evening, 2 October, at the Annual
JCP Community Party held in San Francisco.
Nominate today...descriptions of the award categories for this year:
JCP Member/Participant Of The Year - This award
recognizes the corporate or individual member (either Member or
Participant) who has made the most significant positive impact on the
community in the past year. Leadership, investment in the community, and
innovation are some of the qualities that EC Members look for in voting
for this award.
Outstanding Spec Lead - The role of Spec Lead is not
an easy one, and the person who takes that responsibility must be,
among other things, technically savvy, able to build consensus in spite
of diverse corporate goals, and focused on efficiency and execution.
This award recognizes the person who has brought together these
qualities the best in the past year, in leading a JSR for the Java
community (Java SE, Java EE or Java ME).
Most Significant JSR - Specification development is
key to the success of the JCP program and helps ensure we remain a fresh
and vibrant community. This award recognizes the Spec Lead and Expert
Group that have contributed (either in progress or final) the most
significant JSR for the Java community (Java SE, Java EE or Java ME) in
the past year.
