Every Thursday, the members of Hammerspace gather to socialize, network, and meet new members of the space. We welcome the community at large to come down during this time to explore the workshop, check out all of the tools, fabrication equipment and work space made available to HammerSpace members, and ask questions of our community of Hammerspace users.

There is plenty of off-street parking, a kids playroom available for tiny makers, and the evening is always the origin point of new and amazing creative ideas.

Tours are led every 30 minutes for those curious about the tools and capabilities of the facility and staff. This is a free event, open to the public.

Thursday, August 22, 2019 at 6:00:00 PM iModules Software 8330 Ward Pkwy 5th Floor, Kansas City, MO

Tony Boswell is a Udacity Front End Web Developer Nanodegree Scholarship Graduate who began working at iModules in January of this year.

Before starting his career in tech, Tony had worked the last 14 years as an over the road truck driver, racking up over 1.5 million accident free miles and visiting all but 2 of the 50 states, where he hauled everything from dry vans, to refrigerated trailer, to crude oil tankers. The last 4 years of his driving career, Tony owned his own truck and grain trailer, specializing his transportation business in pet food ingredients, because unlike grain crops, road salt, and sand which were seasonal, pet food was year-round work. His last year as an Owner-operator, Tony spent over 320 days on the road.

Tony is now able to enjoy spending time at home with his wife, and binge-watching his favorite Netflix shows, but his real passion is island hopping. Tony's idea of vacationing is far away from the asphalt jungle and traffic.

Abstract:
The Java Community Process (JCP) program celebrates twenty years of Java standards development in 2019. The JCP, Program is the process by which the international Java community standardizes and ratifies the specifications for Java technologies. The JCP ensures high-quality specifications are developed using an inclusive, consensus-based approach. Read more about the JCP at https://jcp.org/en/procedures/jcp2_11.

This session will explore how Java development has been brought into the open over the past decade. Several Java developer efforts have brought open source development processes and new levels of transparency and participation into their communities.

Learn about the latest Java innovations to the Java SE Platform – Java SE 11, 12, 13 and beyond.

Since the initiation of efforts to expand the developer participation in the Java community, Java standards development is more open that it ever has been.

Learn how to take part in the Java developer community and the upcoming changes to Java – you can participate as an individual, corporation, or nonprofit such as a Java user group (JUG).

This session answers questions about why and how to participate in the evolution of the Java platform. You will also learn about the global Adoption programs and how you can participate in contributing to the future of Java.
