Java modularity, JSR 277, JSR 291, JSR 294, OSGi, open source, and software design.
I work for SpringSource in Southampton, England. I previously worked on Java runtimes in IBM Hursley. I also worked in the Core Platform Expert Group of the OSGi Alliance and in the Java Community Process as the spec. lead of JSR 291 and on the Expert Groups of JSRs 277 and 294. Before that I worked in transaction processing and one or two open source projects. My views are not necessarily shared by SpringSource.

So Hani thinks that you did "no work". Was he subscribed to the same mailing list as me??
It's kind of disappointing that Red Hat's earlier "no" turned into silence rather than a "yes". But I think congratulations are still in order.
Yes, Hani was mistaken on that point. He also overlooked the 1.5 Mb, 286 page spec. document and thought the covering letter in the spec. package zip file was the spec! Someone else made the same mistake, so perhaps I need to make sure the spec. is the first entry in the zip file in future.
I'm not sure how to interpret silence. Red Hat was a little disappointing although Google was a pleasant surprise.
Congrats to the JSR 291 expert group on reaching this milestone. Sun's comment is a bit perplexing - it seems they don't want JSR expert groups to reach out to other members of the wider community?
Btw, anyone heard anything wrt JSR 277 - there's been no updates on Stanley Ho's blog since 3rd November...
JSR 277 is off topic, but see here and here for some links.
