| <h2>Jakarta EE 9 Is Released</h2> |
| <p>The long-awaited and much-discussed <a href="https://jakarta.ee/release/9/">Jakarta EE 9</a> “big bang” is complete. The package namespace is now jakarta.* instead of javax.*.</p> |
| |
| <p>Jakarta EE 9 gives tool vendors, product vendors, and custom application developers the ideal opportunity to update their software:</p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>Migration to Jakarta EE 9 is straightforward because only the namespace change needs to be considered.</li> |
| <li>The <a href="https://jakarta.ee/about/jesp/">Jakarta EE Specification Process</a> means it’s much easier than it was in the past for products to be certified as full profile and web compatible.</li> |
| <li>Going forward, community members working on each Jakarta EE specification can deliver as many specification releases as needed to meet the community’s requirements. That means developers and enterprises that need technology advances in a particular Jakarta EE specification, such as Jakarta Servlet, no longer have to wait for a full platform release to start using those advances.</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p>Use #JakartaEE9 on Twitter to share your migration stories, connect with others on the same migration path, and let the world know the massive installed base of enterprise Java applications is making the transition to the next phase of innovation.</p> |
| |

| <h2>451 Research Explores the Eclipse Foundation Role in the Automotive Industry</h2> |
| <p>A recent 451 Research report highlights the important role the automotive working groups and projects hosted at the Eclipse Foundation are playing in the automotive industry.</p> |
| <p>The report describes the momentum in automotive initiatives at the Eclipse Foundation, including the value provided in the four automotive working groups — <a href="https://openadx.eclipse.org/">OpenADx</a>, <a href="https://openmobility.eclipse.org/">openMobility</a>, <a href="https://openpass.eclipse.org/">openPASS</a>, and <a href="https://openmdm.org/">openMDM</a> — broad participation by industry leaders, such as Bosch, and the strong uptake of projects, such as <a href="https://www.eclipse.org/sumo/">Eclipse SUMO</a>. The report also looks at the role of other open source foundations focused on automotive technologies.</p> |
| <p>In its final analysis, the report notes the Eclipse Foundation has the history and membership strength needed to influence software direction in the automotive industry.</p> |

| <h2>Our Virtual Events Were a Success in 2020</h2> |
| <p>While 2020 has been an extremely challenging year for all of us, we’re pleased to tell you that one of the adaptations we had to make has gone very well: We’ve turned virtual events into a core competency at the Eclipse Foundation.</p> |
| |
| <p>Eclipse Foundation community members and staff hosted 53 virtual events in 2020, up 63 percent from 2019. In total, these virtual events attracted more than 8,000 attendees.</p> |
| |
| <p>Many thanks to everyone who organized and attended our virtual events in 2020. They’re all available for replay on the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCej18QqbZDxuYxyERPgs2Fw">Eclipse Foundation YouTube channel</a>.</p> |
| |
| <p>We look forward to hosting more virtual events in 2021. If you have a project or topic you’d like to share with the community, email <a href="mailto:events@eclipse.org">events@eclipse.org</a>, or contact an Eclipse Foundation marketing manager to discuss setting up a webinar with us.</p> |
