"The number and variety of candidates and the results of the elections testify to the vitality of the organization. The balance between large and small corporations as well as Java User Groups reflects the diversity of the Java community. I'd like to congratulate the winners, and to thank all of the nominees for their participation. We are looking forward to welcoming the new members at our next meeting on 15 December," said Heather VanCura, Group Director of the JCP Program Office.
The Executive Committee changeover will take place between 24 November and 7 December, with the new EC members taking office on 8 December. EC members guide the evolution of the Java technologies by approving and voting on all technology proposals (Java Specification Requests, or JSRs). They are also responsible for defining the JCP's rules of governance and the legal agreement between members and the organization. They provide guidance to the Program Management Office (PMO) and they represent the interests of the JCP to the broader community.
This year 13 candidates participated in the EC elections including corporate entities and Java User Groups. View the qualifying statements of all the nominees at https://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/elections/2015-nominees.html.
