Thank you Kevin for sending such a wonderful write-up!
+ 8 months and we have accomplished a StandAlone Charter for MicroProfile that is true to its last 4years! :)
Members: Thus far, this community has secured the minimum of 5 ORG Members: Atlanta JUG, Jelastic, IBM, RedHat & Tomitribe-- AND a few other ORGs that are still working on doing their best to join the MPWG by October 1st.
MP while navigating the Working Group compliance has braided of a truly formidable union of ORGs that will continue to keep MP low-bar entry, fun, leveled & community owned & value oriented.
Fees: There are no longer issues with joining the MPWG because of ORGs' budget restrictions. We have secured closing 2020 MPWG fees on December 31st, 2020, which enables our partners to free some budget NOW> : )
The fiscal year for MPWG starts on January 1st and closes on Dec 31st.
smiling-- It has been a deeply exhausting & expensive 8 + months for those actively involved in the process.
I am beyond happy that today, after the MP Community recorded zoom call, we can once again- hopefully- last time-- push the MP Charter to the EF EMO for formal approval. The ball has landed at the EMO court.
Approval of the MicroProfile StandAlone Working Charter leads to MP 4.0 Release in October, palpable. We have worked hard/smart to achieve today, all of us Contributors: users, coders, bloggers, speakers, designers, researchers... You matter, we matter, us matter!
