OpenJDK adoption by Java User Groups (original) (raw)

Hi all,

I think the experiment was pretty successful the other night and Mike and I have also figured out some ways to streamline the process even further for future events (pre-built VMs with the initial build already executed once work pretty well if you're running adequate hardware).

We're keeping the VM up-to-date with jtreg and the latest commits and will be organising a regular monthly OpenJDK hack night for the LJC to work on low hanging fruit such as javac warnings.

A few of the more enthusiastic folk will probably keeping submitting ad-hoc patches, but what would you like us to work on as a group next time? There is still ~8500 warnings last time I checked so we'd probably be quite happy to run through a similar exercise again.

Once we've found our feet (and made sure we're not making life difficult for all of you) then we'll spread the program further to other JUGs.

We're also exploring where we can help out with documentation, but I'll cover that separately.

Cheers, Martijn
