The document summarizes Heather VanCura's presentation on the future of Java and the Java Community Process (JCP). Some key points: - Java continues to grow with over 10 million developers and billions of devices running Java. - Upcoming versions of Java platforms include Java EE 8 in 2017, Java SE 9 in 2017, and future projects like Valhalla and Panama. - Reforms to the JCP through JCP.next aim to increase transparency, merge committees, and broaden membership. - Many Java user groups (JUGs) around the world are participating in JCP work and hack days on Java specifications.
