Talend joins the Java Community Process (JCP)

[admin]

I am very proud of Talend’s position as a key open source company. As Talend, we see open source playing a major role in the success of our customers and also in how it’s changing the nature of the Enterprise. Of course, there would not be open source without open source community. The community is where the collective wisdom and shared interests help drive innovations and creativity.

Just this week, Talend has joined the Java Community Process (JCP), to actively get involved in the next version of the JAX-RS specification which defines all about REST and the APIs that developers use to build Java-based RESTful applications. We are excited about this. For one, it helps maintain Talend ESB on the latest REST APIs that are being adopted across the various implementations. Secondly, Talend is a major contributor and user of Apache CXF and we felt that the REST support needs to be maintained to the latest specification and innovations. We have significant ongoing investments within Apache CXF, with a significant part our products embedding this technology for Web Services support, so it makes perfect sense for us to continue to invest in making sure CXF is on the cutting edge of new innovations. Not only will we continue to innovate, but we feel the collective efforts of the JCP members with help improve quality and compatibility across all implementations.

Sergey Berozkin will be Talend’s representative at the JCP. Sergey is a major contributor to the JAX-RS implementation within Apache CXF. He’s crazy about all things REST and will help the JCP defining the latest specification.

When we founded Talend, one of the things that we agreed, from the get-go, was that Talend would not only use open source but also invest in community-based development in the wider open source ecosystem. We have been involved with OW2 since its foundation and Cédric, Talend’s CTO, is a board member of OW2. We are also major contributors to Apache including CXF, Camel, ServiceMix, Karaf, Santuario, ActiveMQ - with a number of Talend team members chairing these projects. We also continue to play an active role in the Eclipse Foundation.* Talend’s participation into JCP is the latest of these contributions, but of course not the last one!
