Interview at Devoxx Belgium 2013

posted by Roberto Cortez on

I had the opportunity to attend last Devoxx in Belgium. It was my first time attending a Devoxx conference and it was an awesome conference. During the event, I joined an Hackergarten organised by Arun Gupta and had the chance to contribute tests for a suit of Java EE 7 Samples in Github. Since I’m very interested in Batch processing, I started to write a few tests for the JSR-352 samples and very quickly we found a possible bug in the specification.

So, Arun Gupta told me how could I report the bug and check all the information related with the JSR-352 and told me about the JCP and the Adopt a JSR processes. The bug that we found was already reported and you can check it here.

I later met Heather VanCura that manages the JCP Program Office and she was very interested in the experience I just had at the Hackergarten. For that reason, I was interviewed to tell my own story and hopefully inspire other developers to contribute to the JCP or the Adopt a JSR processes. Here is the interview:

I continue to contribute to the Java EE 7 Samples project and you are also invited to do so if you wish. I’ve found more bugs and this is my first report and contribution to the Java ecosystem.
