&lt;p&gt;May 20 is &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.worldmetrologyday.org&quot;&gt;World Metrology Day&lt;/a&gt;, commemorating the anniversary of the signing of the Metre Convention in 1875.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This year, we celebrate the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Metre Convention - a milestone that underscores a century and a half of international collaboration in measurement science. Also the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.oiml.org/en&quot;&gt;OIML&lt;/a&gt;, the International Organization of Legal Metrology, turns 70 on October 12th this year.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The theme for World Metrology Day 2025 is Measurements for all times, for all people.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We also released &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/unitsofmeasurement/si-units/releases/tag/2.2.2&quot;&gt;version 2.2.2&lt;/a&gt; of &lt;a href=&quot;http://uom.si/&quot;&gt;SI Units&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Happy Pi Day 2023!&lt;br /&gt;
Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th (3/14) around the world. Pi (Greek letter “π”) is the symbol used in mathematics to represent a constant — the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter — which is approximately 3.14159. Pi Day is an annual opportunity for math enthusiasts to recite the infinite digits of Pi, talk to their friends about math, and eat pie.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM), at its &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.bipm.org/en/cgpm-2022/&quot;&gt;27th meeting&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;recalling that decisions were made at previous meetings when it was considered timely to extend the range of SI prefixes including Resolution 12 (paragraph 3) adopted by the CGPM at its 11th meeting (1960), Resolution 8 adopted by the CGPM at its 12th meeting (1964), Resolution 10 adopted by the CGPM at its 15th meeting (1975), and Resolution 4 adopted by the CGPM at its 19th meeting (1991), decided to add to the list of SI prefixes to be used for multiples and submultiples of units the following prefixes:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;table width=&quot;60%&quot;&gt;
	&lt;tbody&gt;
		&lt;tr&gt;
			&lt;th width=&quot;50%&quot;&gt;Multiplying factor&lt;/th&gt;
			&lt;th width=&quot;30%&quot;&gt;Name&lt;/th&gt;
			&lt;th&gt;Symbol&lt;/th&gt;
		&lt;/tr&gt;
		&lt;tr&gt;
			&lt;td&gt;10&lt;sup&gt;27&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
			&lt;td class=&quot;title-third&quot;&gt;ronna&lt;/td&gt;
			&lt;td&gt;
			&lt;h4&gt;R&lt;/h4&gt;
			&lt;/td&gt;
		&lt;/tr&gt;
		&lt;tr&gt;
			&lt;td&gt;10&lt;sup&gt;–27&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
			&lt;td class=&quot;title-third&quot;&gt;ronto&lt;/td&gt;
			&lt;td&gt;
			&lt;h4&gt;r&lt;/h4&gt;
			&lt;/td&gt;
		&lt;/tr&gt;
		&lt;tr&gt;
			&lt;td&gt;10&lt;sup&gt;30&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
			&lt;td class=&quot;title-third&quot;&gt;quetta&lt;/td&gt;
			&lt;td&gt;
			&lt;h4&gt;Q&lt;/h4&gt;
			&lt;/td&gt;
		&lt;/tr&gt;
		&lt;tr&gt;
			&lt;td&gt;10&lt;sup&gt;–30&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
			&lt;td class=&quot;title-third&quot;&gt;quecto&lt;/td&gt;
			&lt;td&gt;
			&lt;h4&gt;q&lt;/h4&gt;
			&lt;/td&gt;
		&lt;/tr&gt;
	&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With an upcoming &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/orgs/unitsofmeasurement/projects/7&quot;&gt;Maintenance Release 2 of JSR 385&lt;/a&gt; we will add those new prefixes to &lt;code&gt;MetricPrefix&lt;/code&gt; in the API.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Happy Ada Lovelace Day 2022!&lt;br /&gt;
Ada Lovelace Day (ALD) is an international celebration of the achievements of women in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM). It aims to increase the profile of women in STEM and, in doing so, create new role models who will encourage more girls into STEM careers and support women already working in STEM.&lt;/p&gt;

          &lt;p&gt;We anticipated to call the latest Indriya version &amp;quot;Stormy Monday&amp;quot; based on a series of storms like Eunice:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;iframe width=&quot;560&quot; height=&quot;315&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/PRLcksCJNgw&quot; title=&quot;YouTube video player&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allow=&quot;accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, given &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.engadget.com/2017-07-06-russian-exoskeleton-suit-turns-soldiers-into-stormtroopers.html&quot;&gt;Russian Stormtroopers&lt;/a&gt; just started to invade Ukraine we decided to call it &amp;quot;Free Ukraine&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Also remembering when Teo presented the JSR in Kiev 2019:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It took a while, maybe partly due to COVID19, including fewer meetings and activities, we also had to send the Spec Documents again with different dates, but thanks everyone for getting the last deliverables out there now.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Corresponding GitHub release tags for API are: &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/unitsofmeasurement/unit-api/releases/tag/2.1.1&quot;&gt;https://github.com/unitsofmeasurement/unit-api/releases/tag/2.1.1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
for the RI: &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/unitsofmeasurement/indriya/releases/tag/2.1.1&quot;&gt;https://github.com/unitsofmeasurement/indriya/releases/tag/2.1.1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;May 20 is &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.worldmetrologyday.org&quot;&gt;World Metrology Day&lt;/a&gt;, commemorating the anniversary of the signing of the Metre Convention in 1875.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The theme for World Metrology Day 2021 is Measurement for Health. For somewhat obvious reasons.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As a nice coincidence, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.majug.de/&quot;&gt;Mannheim JUG&lt;/a&gt; held a Meetup (in German) &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.meetup.com/de-DE/mannheim-java-usergroup/events/277421859&quot;&gt;javax.measure bringt verständliche Einheiten in die Software&lt;/a&gt; allowing me to share insight and experience with the audience especially during Q&amp;amp;A.&lt;br /&gt;
The presentation looked more at domain specific use cases for JSR 385 and how to integrate Units of Measurement support in your applications from the backend or middleware to the UI frontend using UI frameworks like React or Angular.&lt;/p&gt;

          &lt;p&gt;After visiting IoT Meetup Zurich several times in person, I was honored to virtually join it again and give a short version of the JSR 385 talk at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.meetup.com/de-DE/IoT-Zurich/events/277320104/&quot;&gt;IoT Day 2021 Virtual Meetup&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It was nice to see an old picture from the 2014 event:&lt;br /&gt;

Hope to join it again in person another year.&lt;/p&gt;

          &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/img/medal-2539595_320.png&quot; alt=&quot;20th Anniversary&quot; title=&quot;Happy 20th Anniversary&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Today marks the 20th anniversary of the JSR 108 &lt;a href=&quot;https://jcp.org/en/jsr/results?id=101&quot;&gt;creation review ballot&lt;/a&gt;. Approved by then JCP EC members like BEA, Borland, Compaq, Sun or WebGain. All companies that no longer exist at least not in their form they had at the time. Apple also a JCP EC member then and Oracle did not vote, although they both participate in the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.unicode.org/&quot;&gt;Unicode&lt;/a&gt; Consortium which also added &lt;a href=&quot;http://site.icu-project.org/&quot;&gt;unit support for Java&lt;/a&gt; but much later.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The JSR was withdrawn in 2004 and about a year later superseded by &lt;a href=&quot;https://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=275&quot;&gt;JSR 275&lt;/a&gt;, but the intended RI of JSR 108 also continued under &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf-java/&quot;&gt;NetCDF Java&lt;/a&gt; as a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/&quot;&gt;UCAR&lt;/a&gt; community project.&lt;br /&gt;
Lately there had been &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-java/issues/256#issuecomment-780807415&quot;&gt;discussions&lt;/a&gt; about a possible implementation of JSR 363 (or hopefully 385) by a future version of NetCDF Java, so the &amp;quot;long lost relatives&amp;quot; could one day even be reunited, if that happens;-)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;JFrog recently announced, that by May 1st, 2021 Bintray/JCenter, GoCenter and ChartCenter will be discontinued, seemingly giving in to stronger competitors like MavenCentral, ArtifactHub or pkg.go.dev, see: &lt;a href=&quot;https://jfrog.com/blog/into-the-sunset-bintray-jcenter-gocenter-and-chartcenter/&quot;&gt;https://jfrog.com/blog/into-the-sunset-bintray-jcenter-gocenter-and-chartcenter/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So it&apos;s time to kiss JFrog Goodbye and move on to use MavenCentral/Sonatype repositories instead. The only case where we explore the possibility of Artifactory in the Cloud for Open Source projects is the limited area of Eclipse P2 repositories.&lt;/p&gt;

          &lt;p&gt;2 years ago we witnessed a historic moment. When the members of the Metre Convention unanimously approved the SI Redefinition at the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qA67T7FPBME&quot;&gt;26th General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) in Versailles, Paris&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On this occasion we released &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/unitsofmeasurement/unit-api/releases/tag/2.1&quot;&gt;version 2.1&lt;/a&gt; of the API.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No, it&apos;s not about your favorite teenage assassin &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6932244/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1&quot;&gt;Hanna&lt;/a&gt; from the Amazon Original series. &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Hanna_(2020)&quot;&gt;Hurricane Hanna&lt;/a&gt; reached Texas today.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Usually the first Hurricane of the season won&apos;t reach the US  before August 10, so Hanna is nearly two weeks early, most likely due to climate change.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We updated our &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/unitsofmeasurement/uom-demos/tree/master/console/systems&quot;&gt;Console Systems Demos&lt;/a&gt; especially the Hurricane wind scale demo &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/unitsofmeasurement/uom-demos/blob/master/console/systems/common/src/main/java/tech/uom/demo/systems/common/ThePerfectStorm.java&quot;&gt;The Perfect Storm&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After we just celebrated the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.oracle.com/de/java/moved-by-java/&quot;&gt;25th birthday of Java&lt;/a&gt; a few weeks ago, today marks the 15th anniversary of the JSR 275 &lt;a href=&quot;https://jcp.org/en/jsr/results?id=3216&quot;&gt;creation review ballot&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
2005 was also the &amp;quot;World Year of Physics&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Einstein Year&amp;quot;, celebrating Einstein&apos;s &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annus_Mirabilis_papers&quot;&gt;Annus Mirabilis papers&lt;/a&gt; being published 100 years earlier, the first on the 9th of June, 1905.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/5e/WYP2005_logo.png&quot; alt=&quot;Einstein Year&quot; title=&quot;World Year of Physics 2005&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The JSR was rejected by the JCP EC about 5 years later, largely because the Internet of Things or connected devices did not exist then and several members that later joined the IoT bandwagon felt, there was not enough momentum. Nevertheless that JSR introduced some key aspects also used in later successors like type-safe Generics or the &amp;quot;javax.measure&amp;quot; namespace. While the JCP and its EC felt it was too early, JSR 275 and JScience 4 were all but abandoned by the community and used by many projects or commercial products despite its non-final verdict.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since its creation, the JSR 275 API was downloaded nearly 855,000 times from Maven type repositories. In the last 12 months, the &amp;quot;javax.measure&amp;quot; APIs were downloaded more than a Million times, with Unit-API (JSR 363/385) now getting more downloads per year than 275 did in its entire lifetime, but it also still is downloaded around 250k times, a number not many Open Source projects hold, especially after 15 years.&lt;/p&gt;

          &lt;p&gt;May 20 is &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.worldmetrologyday.org&quot;&gt;World Metrology Day&lt;/a&gt;, commemorating the anniversary of the signing of the Metre Convention in 1875.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;iframe width=&quot;560&quot; height=&quot;315&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/gSvVlk_uL5s&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allow=&quot;accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The theme for World Metrology Day 2020 is Measurements for global trade. This theme was chosen to create awareness of the important role measurement plays in facilitating fair global trade, ensuring products meet standards and regulations, and satisfying customer quality expectations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/img/WMD_2020_EN_A4_h.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;alt text&quot; title=&quot;World Metrology Day 2020&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We plan to release domain specific extension modules, libraries or demos for JSR 385 and Units of Measurement in the upcoming weeks and months to support Measurements for trade and business.&lt;/p&gt;

          &lt;p&gt;Do you know what happened on July 20 1969 at 20 UTC? Does the “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind” ring a bell…? Yes, it’s moon landing! 2019 was the 50th anniversary of this historical milestone, so Codemotion decided to celebrate it during its 2019 Conferences around Europe.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/img/moonlanding.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Moon Landing&quot; title=&quot;Moon Landing of Apollo 11&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In particular, &lt;a href=&quot;https://events.codemotion.com/conferences/milan/2019/&quot;&gt;Codemotion Milan 19&lt;/a&gt; was the selected location of some &lt;a href=&quot;https://events.codemotion.com/conferences/milan/2019/news/moon-landing-celebrations/&quot;&gt;special events&lt;/a&gt;. Among the speakers, we had the pleasure to listen to Don Eyles (October, 24) and Russ Olsen (October, 25) as keynote speakers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Before our own JSR 385 session at Codemotion Milan 2019 on October, 25, Thodoris and Werner had the privilege to interview both Don Eyles and Russ Olson.&lt;br /&gt;

        <description>
          &lt;p&gt;A few weeks ago a massive download surge started with almost 100k downloads of  Unit-API (JSR 363 and 385) in just 30 days.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;/img/downloads_api_30day_2019-09-16.png&quot; alt=&quot;90k+ Unit-API downloads&quot; title=&quot;Unit-API exceeded 90-thousand downloads in 30 days&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This also made the Unit-API (JSR 363 and 385) downloads exceed those of JSR 275 in the course of the last year.&lt;/p&gt;

          &lt;p&gt;Judgement Day&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/img/T2_Final.png&quot; alt=&quot;JSR 385 Judgement Day&quot; title=&quot;Judgement Day&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On Thursday, August 29, 2019 the &lt;strong&gt;Final Release&lt;/strong&gt; of JSR 385 was published by the Java Community Process: &lt;a href=&quot;https://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/final/jsr385/index.html&quot;&gt;https://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/final/jsr385/index.html&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The date coincides with &lt;strong&gt;Judgement Day&lt;/strong&gt; in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminator_2:_Judgment_Day&quot;&gt;Terminator&lt;/a&gt; movies.&lt;br /&gt;
If a computer system like Skynet ever did become self-aware, hopefully it gets not only its measurement units right. If it ran on Java, then JSR 385 might help ;-)&lt;/p&gt;

          &lt;p&gt;This week the first ever &lt;strong&gt;Public Review Final Approval Ballot&lt;/strong&gt; for JSR 385 at the Java Community Process finished. JSR 385 was approved by the JCP Executive Committee: &lt;a href=&quot;https://jcp.org/en/jsr/results?id=6199&quot;&gt;https://jcp.org/en/jsr/results?id=6199&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We plan to release a final Specification document and publish all artifacts to JCP.org soon. In the meantime, you can find them on Github already, API: &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/unitsofmeasurement/unit-api/releases/tag/2.0&quot;&gt;https://github.com/unitsofmeasurement/unit-api/releases/tag/2.0&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;May 20 is &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.worldmetrologyday.org&quot;&gt;World Metrology Day&lt;/a&gt;, commemorating the anniversary of the signing of the Metre Convention in 1875. This treaty provides the basis for a coherent measurement system worldwide that underpins scientific discovery and innovation, industrial manufacturing and international trade, as well as the improvement of the quality of life and the protection of the global environment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;World Metrology Day 2019 has a special importance, because on 16 November 2018, the General Conference on Weights and Measures agreed perhaps one of the most significant revisions to the International System of Units (the SI) since its inception. Research into new measurement methods, including those using quantum phenomena, underpin the change, which comes into force on 20 May 2019. The SI is now based on a set of definitions each linked to the laws of physics and have the advantage of being able to embrace further improvements in measurement science and technology to meet the needs of future users for many years to come.&lt;/p&gt;

        <description>
          &lt;p&gt;Just one week before World Metrology Day 2019 and shortly before the Public Review of JSR 385 the combined downloads of Unit-API (JSR 363 and 385) exceeded the 100-thousandth download within a period of 12 months:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;/img/jsr385_111k.png&quot; alt=&quot;111k Unit-API downloads&quot; title=&quot;Unit-API exceeded 100-thousandth download&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Currently the vast majority are JSR 363 downloads, but once JSR 385 goes Final, we expect to see more of it and probably even a higher total number across both versions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So Filip and Werner are actual &lt;strong&gt;Comic Heroes&lt;/strong&gt; now ;-D&lt;br /&gt;
According to OOP organizers the session was very well received by attendees, too.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;May 20 is &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.worldmetrologyday.org&quot;&gt;World Metrology Day&lt;/a&gt;, commemorating the anniversary of the signing of the Metre Convention in 1875. This treaty provides the basis for a coherent measurement system worldwide that underpins scientific discovery and innovation, industrial manufacturing and international trade, as well as the improvement of the quality of life and the protection of the global environment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;World Metrology Day celebrates the signature by representatives of seventeen nations of The Metre Convention on 20 May 1875. The Convention set the framework for global collaboration in the science of measurement and in its industrial, commercial and societal application. The original aim of the Metre Convention - the worldwide uniformity of measurement - remains as important today, in 2018, as it was in 1875.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Indriya and JSR 385 are ready for and working with Java 10!&lt;br /&gt;
While the API and Indriya remain fully backward compatible with Java SE 8 and at least the API will do (for Indriya we may explore &lt;a href=&quot;https://blog.codefx.org/tools/multi-release-jars-multiple-java-versions/&quot;&gt;Multi-release JARs&lt;/a&gt; if it was highly beneficial and justified the increased JAR size) both work perfectly fine with Java 10.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The first &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/unitsofmeasurement/uom-demos/tree/master/console/java10&quot;&gt;Units of Measurement Console Demos&lt;/a&gt; show how to use the Java 10 &lt;code&gt;var&lt;/code&gt; feature with JSR 385 and Indriya. More to come. Stay tuned or contribute Java 9, 10 or 11 support you would like to see and use.&lt;/p&gt;

        <description>
          &lt;p&gt;Following a recent vote &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/unitsofmeasurement/indriya/issues/35&quot;&gt;Indriya #35&lt;/a&gt; we decided to switch from virtual TLDs &amp;quot;.tec&amp;quot;, the only option back in 2014 to actual new &amp;quot;tech&amp;quot; TLDs that became usable after 2015. A small difference, but with domains like &amp;quot;uom.tech&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;units.tech&amp;quot; we can also use them for web pages and email addresses.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Similar to JSR 363 &amp;quot;units.tech&amp;quot; will be reserved for the JSR (mostly RI and TCK) while &amp;quot;uom.tech&amp;quot; serves the wider project and all other artifacts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Find them on Search.maven.org under &lt;a href=&quot;http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cga%7C1%7Ctech.units&quot;&gt;tech.units&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cga%7C1%7Ctech.uom&quot;&gt;tech.uom&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Following Apache SIS 0.8 Eclipse UOMo 0.7 offers another compatible JSR 363 implementation. A Release Candidate is available &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.eclipse.org/uomo/download.php&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. You can find a matching TCK harness under &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/unitsofmeasurement/unit-tck-usage/tree/uomo&quot;&gt;https://github.com/unitsofmeasurement/unit-tck-usage/tree/uomo&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Until EMO concludes the Release review, please build UOMo 0.7 from source or install it into a local Maven repository before running the tests. After that we&apos;ll make UOMo 0.7 available in public repositories like JCenter or MavenCentral.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Apache SIS is a Java language library for developing geospatial&lt;br /&gt;
applications. SIS provides data structures for geographic features and&lt;br /&gt;
associated metadata along with methods to manipulate those data&lt;br /&gt;
structures. The library is an implementation of GeoAPI 3.0 interfaces&lt;br /&gt;
and can be used for desktop or server applications.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Some Apache SIS features are:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Geographic metadata (ISO 19115)&lt;br /&gt;
o Read/write ISO 19139 compliant XML documents&lt;br /&gt;
o Read from netCDF, GeoTIFF, Landsat, GPX and Moving Feature CSV&lt;br /&gt;
encoding&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Referencing by coordinates (ISO 19111) or by identifiers (ISO 19112)&lt;br /&gt;
o Well Known Text (WKT) version 1 and 2 (ISO 19162)&lt;br /&gt;
o Geographic Markup Language (GML) version 3.2 (ISO 19136)&lt;br /&gt;
o Geodetic objects and operations from EPSG geodetic dataset&lt;br /&gt;
o Mercator, Lambert, stereographic and more map projections&lt;br /&gt;
o Geohashes and Military Grid Reference System (MGRS)&lt;br /&gt;
o Optional bridge to Proj.4 as a complement to Apache SIS own&lt;br /&gt;
referencing engine&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Units of measurement&lt;br /&gt;
o &lt;strong&gt;JSR-363&lt;/strong&gt; with parsing, formating and unit conversion functionalities&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We recently did a &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/unitsofmeasurement/unit-ri/issues/67&quot;&gt;survey&lt;/a&gt; about a matching future code name for a Units of Measurement RI. Anticipating a follow-up JSR along a &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proposed_redefinition_of_SI_base_units&quot;&gt;proposed redefinition of SI base units&lt;/a&gt;. The winner was &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indriya&quot;&gt;Indriya&lt;/a&gt;, the Sanskrit word for sense.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While officially in &amp;quot;Stealth Mode&amp;quot; until a new JSR starts, please have a look at &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/unitsofmeasurement/indriya&quot;&gt;Indriya&lt;/a&gt;. It is based on &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/unitsofmeasurement/uom-se&quot;&gt;uom-se&lt;/a&gt; with a few tweaks and improvements like the first draft of a &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/unitsofmeasurement/indriya/issues/1&quot;&gt;CompoundUnit&lt;/a&gt; etc. Therefore fully compatible with the API and other existing implementations. It is a bit early, but for those who like their &amp;quot;coffee&amp;quot; fresh and hot, please feel free to already taste it.&lt;/p&gt;

        <description>
          &lt;p&gt;On the first ever DevoXX US in San Jose, California, Leo and Otavio presented JSR 363.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After DevoXX UK and Belgium in 2015 and a related session Werner gave while DevoXX Morocco was still called JMaghreb, this marked 4 out of currently 6 DevoXX venues with a session on JSR 363.&lt;br /&gt;
Although at Geecon and not DevoXX Poland, Werner also presented Standards for Java Embedded in Krakow, so that way it&apos;s actually 5 out of 6 with only Paris missing ;-)&lt;/p&gt;

        <author>keilw</author>

        <description>
          &lt;p&gt;About two months after JSR 363 had gone &lt;a href=&quot;2016/final.html&quot;&gt;Final&lt;/a&gt; its predecessor JSR 275 exceeded the 100-thousandth download within a period of less than 12 months:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;/img/jsr275_100k.png&quot; alt=&quot;alt text&quot; title=&quot;JSR 275 exceeded 100-thousandth download&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We hope, over time some of those users will migrate to JSR 363 where can get support for an official standard. A very large number of those 100k plus downloads seems related to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.geoapi.org/&quot;&gt;GeoAPI&lt;/a&gt; and various products or projects implementing and extending it. An upcoming version of GeoAPI should migrate to JSR 363, so where those downstream projects started using new versions, we shall sooner or later see those numbers shift towards JSR 363.&lt;/p&gt;

          &lt;p&gt;After meeting for a JCP EC F2F / EG F2F for the last time (because the EG officially no longer exists after JSR 363 went final), Leonardo, Otavio and Werner presented JSR 363 during a JavaOne BOF (BOF5981) on Sep 19th, right before the annual JCP Party.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Like Adam Bien the year before Werner won a JCP Award but could not receive it right away at the JCP Party because of the BOF.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;/img/DSCF1226_600x800.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;alt text&quot; title=&quot;Werner with JCP Award&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Following the JCP Award Otavio won as Outstanding Adopt-a-JSR Participant 2014 and the Most Significant JSR Award 2015 this was the &lt;strong&gt;3rd JCP Award in a row&lt;/strong&gt; either the JSR 363 Expert Group or one of its members had won :-)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Leo gave another presentation on IoT standards at JavaOne 2016&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;iframe src=&quot;//www.slideshare.net/slideshow/embed_code/key/eSo8ZHArZTPWPI&quot; width=&quot;595&quot; height=&quot;485&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; marginwidth=&quot;0&quot; marginheight=&quot;0&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot; style=&quot;border:1px solid #CCC; border-width:1px; margin-bottom:5px; max-width: 100%;&quot; allowfullscreen&gt; &lt;/iframe&gt; &lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom:5px&quot;&gt; &lt;strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;//www.slideshare.net/LeonardoDeMouraRocha/using-java-and-standards-for-fast-iot-development-con5513&quot; title=&quot;Using Java and Standards for Fast IoT Development [CON5513]&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Using Java and Standards for Fast IoT Development [CON5513]&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt; by &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;//www.slideshare.net/LeonardoDeMouraRocha&quot;&gt;Leonardo De Moura Rocha Lima&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;

          &lt;p&gt;Last week the Final Approval Ballot for JSR 363 at the Java Community Process finished. JSR 363 was approved by the JCP Executive Committee: &lt;a href=&quot;https://jcp.org/en/jsr/results?id=5877&quot;&gt;https://jcp.org/en/jsr/results?id=5877&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Corresponding GitHub release tags for API are: &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/unitsofmeasurement/unit-api/releases/tag/1.0&quot;&gt;https://github.com/unitsofmeasurement/unit-api/releases/tag/1.0&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Most other artifacts like unit systems, libraries or &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/unitsofmeasurement/uom-demos&quot;&gt;uom-demos&lt;/a&gt; got corresponding tags like &amp;quot;Final Release&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Final equivalent&amp;quot; buiding upon 1.0. All of them except demos can also be found either on MavenCentral, Bintray JCenter or both.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Most other artifacts like unit systems, libraries or &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/unitsofmeasurement/uom-demos&quot;&gt;uom-demos&lt;/a&gt; got corresponding tags like &amp;quot;Public Final Draft&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;PFD equivalent&amp;quot; buiding upon the PFD stage JSR. All of them except demos can also be found either on MavenCentral, Bintray JCenter or both.&lt;/p&gt;

        <description>
          &lt;p&gt;Leonardo, Werner and Otavio met for an EG F2F in Rio de Janeiro. As the &lt;a href=&quot;../2015/pr.html&quot;&gt;Public Review&lt;/a&gt; Ballot of JSR 363 was just about to conclude, Leonardo and Werner gave a Spec Lead presentation to the EC answering questions of EC members prior to their vote.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After the presentation great host TOTVS invited attendees to a ride up Sugarloaf Montain with the cable car, many probably know from the James Bond movie &amp;quot;Moonraker&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;/img/p1210658_640x480.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;alt text&quot; title=&quot;EC Group Picture on Sugarloaf Mountain&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Werner used the opportunity to track &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.strava.com/activities/482729393&quot;&gt;the ride on Strava&lt;/a&gt;. More of that coming soon to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.doag.org/konferenz/konferenzplaner/konferenzplaner_details.php?id=499959&amp;locS=0&amp;vid=509382&quot;&gt; JavaLand&lt;/a&gt;...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Although some EC members had to travel back a bit longer or later than expected due to Blizzard Jason causing major traffic disruption, all but 2 members were able to vote on the &lt;a href=&quot;https://jcp.org/en/jsr/results?id=5837&quot;&gt;Public Review&lt;/a&gt; of JSR 363 the following Monday and it passed with only &amp;quot;Yes&amp;quot; votes by all who voted.&lt;/p&gt;

        <description>
          &lt;p&gt;On the last day of DevoXX BE 2015 in Antwerp, after many had already seen cutting edge QS and Embedded technologies in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.devoxx.be/2015/10/james-bond/&quot;&gt;James Bond Spectre&lt;/a&gt; and a literal &lt;a href=&quot;http://cfp.devoxx.be/2015/talk/EDW-7208/Providing_Eyes,_Ears,_and_a_Mouth_to_Your_IoT_Project&quot;&gt;hands-on IoT session&lt;/a&gt; by Yara and Vinicius, Werner presented &lt;a href=&quot;http://cfp.devoxx.be/2015/talk/PPU-4757/The_First_IoT_JSR:_Units_of_Measurement_&quot;&gt;The First IoT JSR: Units of Measurement&lt;/a&gt;. Unfortunately, JSR 363 EG members and co-speakers Mohamed and Otavio could not make it due to travel budget constraints.&lt;br /&gt;
While two Cloud/Big Data sessions by both Google and Microsoft as well as a &amp;quot;CSI: Cyber&amp;quot; style security talk by highly acclaimed Security consultant and Hacker Dan Tentler drew many attendees to the other 3 rooms, it still ended up with a decent crowd, exceeding all other JSR 363 related talks of 2015, including a similar DevoXX UK session in London.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For everyone who did not attend the session or wants to watch it again, here&apos;s the YouTube recording:&lt;/p&gt;

          &lt;p&gt;After some EG members met at the end of the previous week for the JCP EC F2F Otavio, Leonardo and Werner demonstrated JSR 363 in two &lt;a href=&quot;https://blogs.oracle.com/javaone/entry/help_build_the_future_at&quot;&gt;Hackergarten sessions&lt;/a&gt; at JavaOne 2015. Running on Java SE 8 on Intel Edison as well as Java ME 8 Embedded on a Freescale board.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While there was no main conference session on JSR 363 it won the JCP Award as &lt;a href=&quot;https://jcp.org/en/press/news/awards/2015award_nominees&quot;&gt;Most Significant JSR of the year&lt;/a&gt; presented at the 13th annual JCP Party.&lt;/p&gt;

        <description>
          &lt;p&gt;Just a day after NASA had unveiled new images and details about Mars, I presented Data Quality and Unit standards from SensorML to ISO 80000 and how JSR 363 can support them at Apache Big Data Europe 2015 in Budapest:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://sched.co/3zww&quot;&gt;Data Quality on Mars - ISO 80000 and other Standards&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It was also a chance to meet EG veteran (initial member of JSR 108 already) and fellow speaker Martin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;/img/DSCF8131_640x601.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;alt text&quot; title=&quot;Meeting Martin at Apache BigData Europe&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We used the opportunity for a detailed review of Spec, API and TCK.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Following the very fine-grained  &lt;a href=&quot;http://docs.oracle.com/javame/config/cldc/opt-pkgs/api/meep/api/doc-files/optionality.html#OptionalityAndDependencies&quot;&gt;Optionality and Dependencies&lt;/a&gt; of JSR 361 (Java ME Embedded Profile 8) and &lt;a href=&quot;http://docs.oracle.com/javame/config/cldc/opt-pkgs/api/meep/api/doc-files/profilesets.html&quot;&gt;Profile Sets&lt;/a&gt; recommended for it, we introduced a similar, yet far less complex number of profiles to JSR 363.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The current profiles are:&lt;br /&gt;
- Minimal&lt;br /&gt;
- Format&lt;br /&gt;
- Base Quantity&lt;br /&gt;
- Quantity&lt;br /&gt;
- SPI&lt;br /&gt;
- Full&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;See &lt;a href=&quot;http://github.com/unitsofmeasurement/unit-tck#profiles&quot;&gt;TCK Profiles&lt;/a&gt; for further details.&lt;/p&gt;

          &lt;p&gt;For the 2nd time I was invited to speak at Social Media Week Copenhagen. This time with some live demos it evolved around Quantified Self and how you can share your workouts and other information on social channels.&lt;a href=&quot;http://socialmediaweek.org/copenhagen/events/?id=194198&quot;&gt;Quantified Self and the Social Internet of Things&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

          &lt;p&gt;Leonardo and Werner as well as Bruno representing SouJava (with members especially Otavio involved as EG Member via Adopt-a-JSR) met for the first EG F2F in 2015, pretty much one year after the &amp;quot;Kick-off&amp;quot; presentation at Oracle last January. &lt;a href=&quot;https://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/ec-public/materials/2015-01-1314/January-2015-Public-Minutes.html&quot;&gt;January 2015 JCP EC F2F&lt;/a&gt; at Freescale in San Jose, California.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Leonardo and Werner reported on the state of JSR 363, the recently started EDR and plans for next stages of the JSR.&lt;/p&gt;

          &lt;p&gt;After a great Eclipse DemoCamp Trondheim last year, I was invited to talk about &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.eclipse.org/uomo/&quot;&gt;UOMo&lt;/a&gt;, JSR 363 and the Quantified Self at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.meetup.com/Trondheim-Eclipse-User-Group/events/170849682/&quot;&gt;Eclipse Luna DemoCamp Trondheim&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/img/highres_408259772_640x480.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;alt text&quot; title=&quot;Eclipse Luna DemoCamp&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We continued with a practical exercise of measuring a few &amp;quot;Pints&amp;quot; in the city. Interestingly after my &amp;quot;Measure for Measure&amp;quot; themed talk the pub was named &amp;quot;Macbeth&amp;quot; just like the other (probably more famous) play by William Shakespeare;-)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The following 2 days, the Force (in Newton;-D) was very strong with me, when I presented the improved version of &lt;a href=&quot;http://java-embedded-challenge.github.io/heart-of-glass/&quot;&gt;Heart of Glass&lt;/a&gt; from last year&apos;s JavaOne Raspberry Pi Challenge at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.trondheimmakerfaire.no/en/&quot;&gt;Trondheim Maker Faire&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/img/DSCF0608_640x480.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;alt text&quot; title=&quot;Werner and a Stormtrooper at Trondheim Maker Faire&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I offered to measure his pulse and heart rate, but he didn&apos;t want to get out of his body armor;-D&lt;/p&gt;

          &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.eclipsecon.org/france2014/&quot;&gt;EclipseCon France 2014&lt;/a&gt; in Toulouse was an opportunity to present JSR 363 and what it means to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.eclipse.org/uomo/&quot;&gt;UOMo project&lt;/a&gt; at the Science WG &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.eclipsecon.org/france2014/unconference&quot;&gt;Unconference Meeting&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It was also a chance to meet Co Spec Lead Jean-Marie Dautelle (below on the left) in his home town.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The following day Jean-Marie presented &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.javolution.org/&quot;&gt;Javolution&lt;/a&gt;, and projects using it like &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jscience.org/&quot;&gt;JScience&lt;/a&gt; in a lightning talk on how it can improve scalability.&lt;/p&gt;

          &lt;p&gt;After JSR 363 passed the Creation Review, the first public presentation took part on World IoT Day 2014. I visited &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.meetup.com/IoT-Zurich/events/166408222/&quot;&gt;IoT MeetUp Zurich&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The hosts were quite honored to have someone from outside Switzerland come by, and we all enjoyed Thai Curry cooked in a Raspberry Pi powered &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.everycook.org/&quot;&gt;EveryCook&lt;/a&gt; device.&lt;/p&gt;
