We are continuing to change and improve the way we build and report our future platform releases through the introduction of the Open Roadmap.

With the lock downs raging on, more events are being cancelled and postponed. The upside is many have also pivoted to being virtual and many advocates are now pumping out interesting webinars and videos. The quality of content has also certainly not diminished, so read on dear reader!

Below you will find a curated list of some of the most interesting news, articles and videos from this month. Cant wait until the end of the month? then visit our twitter page where we post all these articles as we find them! 

We wanted to let you know that we've decided to self-host our documentation due to the shutdown of legacy Gitbook. There are a few minor changes you'll want to know regarding how you access and read the Payara Platform Documentation.

I was very determined this month to try and get this blog out on time! A lot has happened this month! Java 14 was released. Some virus thingy means everyone is working from home. Conferences and events are almost all cancelled all delayed, globally. Some have transitioned to virtual events.

Starting with the latest Payara Platform 201 release, we've made changes to how we build and report our future platform roadmap. We recently introduced the Payara Reef initiative to enhance our communication with the Payara community, and as part of the Reef initiative, we are also introducing the Open Roadmap for the Payara Platform.

It's been a little while since the last update. Your humble author has been on the road, most recently DevNexus in Atlanta where we met many awesome people and had a great time. We also just published our latest release Payara Platform 5.201.  We wont lament further, as usual we have kept our eyes open and have been squirrelling away some great content.

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.

Apologies for the late edition this month! Your humble author has been on the road with recent conferences in Europe. But I hope I can make it up to you!
