What is Java Champion?

Java Champions come from a broad cross-section of the Java community. They are leaders; candidates are leading Java-related projects, JUG communities, and so on. They are technical luminaries; the candidate should be a Java engineer or architect who is relatively senior and has lots of experience. Java Champions are independent-minded and credible. They are also involved with applications of Java Technology or some humanitarian or educational effort openly available to the Java community (vs. a company-proprietary or government-classified project).  – Java Chamipons
