- 26. But why ● Networking, you meet important guys from different countries ● Soft skill, improve communication, oratory, speak English, to non native. ● Popularity ● Technical skill. Once you open pull requests, suggest path, help in documentation, study the code, you will receive code review, mentoring and learn how companies such Red Hat, Tomitribe, IBM do their structure code. ● Work in mainstream company 26
- 27. I learned Java in the early days, reading the specifications of the language. Since then, I have found that getting involved with the process that defines the technology is an excellent boost to my career. It has allowed me to learn first what is being created, it helped me meet with some of the most important developers of the Java world, and enabled me to give my customers the best advice for their projects. - Bruno Souza (JavaMan) 27
- 28. Awards JCP Member/Participant of the Year Outstanding Spec Lead Most Significant JSR Outstanding Adopt-a-JSR Participant 28
