The Future of Java and You

This session will explore how Java development has been brought into the open and review several changes in the Java community over the last year. Java development efforts have brought open source development processes and new levels of transparency and participation into the Java community. The Java Community Process (JCP) program celebrates twenty years of Java standards development in 2019. Since the initiation of efforts to expand the developer participation in the Java community, Java standards development is more open that it ever has been.

This session answers questions about why and how to participate in the evolution of the Java platform. You will also learn about how you can participate in contributing to the future of Java to benefit your career.
