Max,

It's not clear to me that the contributions to the BSD Port project can be used to demonstrate contributions to the jdk8 project. In the jdk8 history (hg logs) then the only reference I can find to Landon is in the attributions on the initial (huge) change-sets that brought the Mac port into jdk8. He was clearly a key contributor and leader in that effort, it's just that there isn't any evidence of recent or direct contributions to the jdk8 project.

Hi All

I hereby nominate Landon Fuller to JDK8 Committer. As many of you know, Landon was the original creator and main author of the SoyLatte project [1][2], which is later included in openjdk as bsd-port, and then macosx-port, and then finally merged into the master repo of jdk7 and jdk8. He is current committer of bsd-port project and author of macosx-port project. You can still see some of his contributions [3] in the obsolete bsd-port repo. http://hg.openjdk.java.net/bsd-port/bsd-port/jdk/rev/5df63dc24cfe http://hg.openjdk.java.net/bsd-port/bsd-port/jdk/rev/3057550cd8b4 http://hg.openjdk.java.net/bsd-port/bsd-port/jdk/rev/f3b9ef693316 http://hg.openjdk.java.net/bsd-port/bsd-port/jdk/rev/edf86ee176b8 http://hg.openjdk.java.net/bsd-port/bsd-port/jdk/rev/ef6bacd0a268 http://hg.openjdk.java.net/bsd-port/bsd-port/jdk/rev/f66c8cc87047 http://hg.openjdk.java.net/bsd-port/bsd-port/jdk/rev/9a4b59e7d398 http://hg.openjdk.java.net/bsd-port/bsd-port/jdk/rev/5cca2f1a37da Votes are due by March 29, 2013.
