The steering committee is made up of the current and previous two conference organizers (general chair and program chair).
In addition there may be two members at large elected by others.
Every year, the new general chair and program chair are added to the steering committee and the general chair and program chair of the conference three years ago are dropped (i.e. members of three conferences are represented).
The two members at large are elected every year.
The chair of the steering committee is determined by a simple majority of the committee members.
The conference happens annually and is currently associated with JavaOne.
