I hereby propose the creation of the JDK Project, with me as the Lead and the Governing Board as the sponsoring Group. The goal of this Project will be to produce open-source reference implementations of the Java SE Platform, to be specified by JSRs in the Java Community Process. Unlike past JDK Release Projects, which produced just one feature release and then terminated, this long-running Project will produce all future JDK feature releases. Per my recent proposal [1][2] to accelerate the release cadence of the Java SE Platform and the JDK, this Project will ship a feature release every six months according to a strict, time-based model. The Project's repositories will be initialized from those of the JDK 10 Project, and that Project will terminate. Features for the release will be proposed and tracked via the JEP Process [3], as usual. The Authors, Committers, and Reviewers of this Project will initially be those of the JDK 10 Project [4]. I expect the first items of discussion amongst these contributors to include the schedule for the March 2018 release and the version-string scheme. Votes are due by 17:00 UTC on Tuesday, 10 October [5]. Only current OpenJDK Members [6] are eligible to vote on this motion. Votes must be cast in the open on the discuss list. Replying to this message is sufficient if your mail program honors the Reply-To header. For Lazy Consensus voting instructions, see [7]. - Mark
