Java Community Process Election Results
I hope that Intel's addition to the MicroEdition EC will add some more focus on developing the J2ME/CDC configuration. All the other EC members are too cLdc-focused (read: Midlets, smartphones). Yeah, I know the market for cLdc is just huge, that's why. I hope this helps to bolster Java development for XScale CPU's/PocketPCs.
(I'm not sure if Intel's been elected previously?)

but Hani DID get 10% of the votes!
And he beat out JetBrains.
I'd love to see Hani in there, stirring things up a little ...
We need to do some "get out the vote" next time around; I didn't even realize he was running for a seat! Apparently only 221 out of 775 eligible voters even voted.
Who else should we get to run?

Sour grapes?
This really isn't sour grapes (I never expected to win), but yet again it's clear that people are just too dumb to be allowed to vote!
For one thing, what has google done for Java that makes it deserve a seat on the EC? Has anyone seen any java products from google? Any code? All we know is that they've hired a couple of java guy. Why is that so worthy of applause?
JBoss on the other hand I can understand. As much as I might despise their products and personalities, they do contribute to Java in many different ways, and their effect is tangible and prominent.
Intel? Again, what java stuff? How much have they contributed to Java lately?
It really just looks like most people voted based on brand recognition more than anything else.
Anyway, I'm stunned and surprised I got almost 10%, so thanks to everyone who voted for me!

Hani is "The Bile Boy".. Just as you have a Film Critic, Hani is our Java Critic. I'm sure by now he has become some sort of a Java ICON ;)

That's hilarious 'cause I voted for both you and Google ;-). I don't treat my votes as "applause", I vote based on who I'd like to have a voice in the shaping of the platforms. My votes also have nothing to do with "brand recognition", whether it's Google or Bile. In this particular case, the set of nominees just struck me as mostly the same old same old. I wanted a little more diversity and I didn't get it :-(.
