JCP election results: LJC and CloudBees win seats on EC

London Java Community are re-elected, while PaaS provider CloudBees picks up the second open seat.
The results are
in for the JCP 2012 elections, and the winners
are… the London Java Community and PaaS providers
CloudBees.
After a whirlwind year of awards and the takeoff
of their Adopt-A-JSR movement, it’s no surprise to see
the LJC re-elected. Even MoroccoJUG, another community group
running for election,
told JAXenter that seeing the LJC win was
most important, “since they have done a great job and they deserve
to continue their efforts and good presentation of
JUGs”.
CloudBees, meanwhile, tweeted in celebration:
Congratulations @stevengharris – elected to 1 of the 2 open JCP Exec Comm seats. THANKS, all, for your support! ow.ly/eSWP5

All four ratified candidates –
Cinterion Wireless Modules, Credit Suisse, Fujitsu and HP – were
accepted onto the board, all receiving at least 76% ‘yes’
votes.
As members of the JCP Executive Committee, these
organisations – represented by selected individuals – are in charge
of overseeing the development of Java, voting on
technical specifications (JSRs), approving Draft Reviews and giving
final approval to Reference Implementations. The Executive
Committee is intended to represent a broad cross-section of the
Java community
A full breakdown reveals that the LJC won a whopping 33% of
votes, while CloudBees picked up 20%. With only two seats open,
ZeroTurnaround (who, with 13%, came third) and the other six
candidates were left in the cold.
In terms of turnout, 23.70% of eligible JCP members
participated in the election, almost identical to last year’s 23%,
and still up from 2010’s 18%.
