Title: How to participate in Java community and evolution
Abstract: Java 9 is targeted for release for March 2017 but that doesn't mean you need to wait until next year to understand how the new features might benefit your projects. Also learn how to take part in Java technology evolution through the Java Community Process (JCP) program to influence the future and evolution of Java. You can participate as an individual, corporation, or nonprofit such as a Java user group (JUG). This session gives you step-by-step instructions on how to participate in the JCP Program. You will also learn about the global Adopt-a-JSR program and how you can participate in the Adopt-a-JSR programs. Find out how you have contribute to the future editions of the Java Standard and Java Enterprise Editions.
