How do you feel about being a Java Champion?

I have to admit I was genuinely surprised because I didn't see it coming. I knew there was no Java champion in Czech Republic, but I never thought that I would become the first one. It's an honour for me. Especially because I'd already met many Java champions and became very good friends with some of them. And now I'm part of the gang of all those people that are making so much for the Java community.

For the festive season we decided to change it up abit and create a mega bumper edition of the month catch by combining November and December and serve it to you before many head off for their Christmas holidays.

This month we had Oracle Code One dominate the lions share of everyone's attention with talks and announcements. So you will notice I have included more than my usual amount of videos, that feature some of the talks and panels from the event. Shortly afterwards was the first Jakarta One Virtual conference that finally announced Jakarta EE 8! Which explains the a large rise in Jakarta EE and MicroProfile content.

Another very busy month for the Payara team! We had our annual "Payara Week" where we fly everyone in the company to our UK HQ for a week of close collaboration, celebration, review and fun! We also announced our new partner program "Payara Radiate".

This week we were happy to host  William and Imogen who joined us in the Malvern Office for a work experience placement. As an organisation we have been dedicated to involving ourselves and providing educational opportunities for young students. Including our apprenticeship program, work experience placements, speaking at schools and events. Below is a summary from William and Imogen on how they felt about the experience.

This was a big month for the Payara Team. We just released Payara Platform 5.192, we toured all across Japan and there has been plenty going on in the Java world with the announcement by the Eclipse Foundation regarding the continued use of the javax namespace.
