Meet the JavaOne Java EE Track Committee: Markus Eisele

This is the first in a series of interviews for you to meet some of the committee members for the JavaOne 2015 Java EE track. The committee plays the most important part in determining the content for JavaOne. These good folks really deserve recognition as most of them devote many hours of their time helping move JavaOne forward, often as volunteers. If JavaOne matters to you, these are folks you should know about.

This first interview is with Markus Eisele. If you are having trouble seeing the embedded video below it is available here.

Markus is now a Developer Advocate at Red Hat and focuses on JBoss Middleware. He has been a long time community advocate for Java EE. He is a popular blogger, author, prolific speaker, JCP expert, Oracle recognized Java Champion and former Oracle ACE Director. He founded a successful German conference himself and helps organize a number of conferences worldwide. He has contributed as a JavaOne content committee member for a number of years. In the interview he shares his expectations for the Java EE track this year.

On this note, I would like to make sure you know that the JavaOne content catalog is now already live with a few preliminary fairly obvious selections we were able to make. None of the sessions accepted at this stage are from Oracle speakers on our track. The folks that we selected early for acceptance include David Blevins, Jonathan Gillmore, Mohammed Taman, Rafael Benevides and Antoine Sabot-Durand. They will be talking about Java EE Connectors (JCA), Java EE 7 real world adoption, CDI and DeltaSpike. I would encourage you to check out all the early selections in the catalog. I also want to remind you that you can still save money by registering early for JavaOne.

I hope to see you at JavaOne. Do stay tuned for more interviews with committee members as well as some key speakers on our track.
