So the idea behind this blog-post is that not a lot of people know about java champions,
what it means , or how to become one . So in order to remove any ambiguity, i’ll try to explain all those things mentioned above. let’s get started :
First, what’s a Java Champion :
"Java Champions are an exclusive group of passionate Java technology and community leaders who are community-nominated and selected under a project sponsored by Oracle. Java Champions get the opportunity to provide feedback, ideas, and direction that will help Oracle grow the Java Platform"
So they are people selected by the community to help decide how the future of the language will be , they come from different places around the glob, different jobs (some not even in the Industry ) . so how do they get chosen ?
A good Java Champion Candidate is a better be an Engineer or a Project Manager or an Architect with Seniority and lots of Experience, besides the candidates must have influence in the developer’s community, and have to be involved in many open source Projects . after all the community is what makes a real “Champion” .
it’s also good to know that the nomination process is done by peer Review , or recommendation, just by providing your name, and profile to the oracle committee
(of course you should meet those conditions mentioned above) plus Reasons for nomination , in other words why you should be nominated what have you done to the community and what projects have you worked on .
So that’s all the importent things you should know about the subject, for more information Try this Link to find out more. Happy Coding …
