  • Missing two meetings in a row results in a loss of voting privileges until two consecutive meetings have been attended.

There are several resources on how Java is being used in industry published on the GitHub wiki.

We added the Machine/AI Workshop based on JSR 381, Visual Recognition Specification, train the trainer video to the wiki page.
