• Not easy to acquire • Require practice • Human interactions • Complex thinker, relationships,

emotional intelligence = practice with others

In-demand skills


• Engage in Community events • User Group Meetings • Conferences • Open Source Projects • Java Community Process (JCP) • Hack days &/or Hackergartens • Kids coding workshops

How to acquire?


• Java Specification Requests (JSRs) – A JSR is a single version of a Java specification.

• JSRs are led by a community member (the Spec Lead), with a group of interested members (the Expert Group) helping with the day-to-day decisions and work. – Any JCP member can submit and lead a JSR.

• Each Expert Group must deliver: – The Specification – A Reference Implementation (RI) – A Technology Compatibility Kit (TCK)

Collaborative Development - How does is work?


• Includes formal public reviews and votes by the Executive Committee. • Full Members can submit & lead JSRs, serve on JSR Expert Groups.
