M&E Community Member on JCP ME EC Board

Well give me a Wooo Eeee!!!! Sean Sheedy has been elected to the Java Community Process Mobile Edition Executive Committee. Sean previously sat on a number of JSR Expert Groups when he was part of Nextel and later Sprint but when he went out on his own he had a little or no voice in the JSR process. His voice since has been the voice of the average developer which should provide a meaningful balance to manufacture representatives from Nokia, Phillips, IBM and Sony Ericsson.

A big thanks to everyone in the community who voted for Sean. We look forward to his three years on the board representing the community and the individual developers in

• Bridging the communication gap between developers and the manufactures
• Representing developers as Java ME evolves.
• Representing open source methods.

So join me in giving Sean a hearty congratulations and don't forget to look at the upcoming JSRs and let him know what you think. Developers now have a real voice on the EC.
