I hereby resign as ZGC Project Lead. It has been a super exciting time for me to drive this project from a proof-of-concept to a state-of-the-art GC that today powers mission critical workloads around the world. However, I will be taking a step back from ZGC development to do other things, and so it feels natural to hand over the project lead role to someone else. According to the OpenJDK Bylaws [1], a new Project Lead may be nominated by the Group Leads of a Project’s Sponsoring Groups. Such a nomination must be approved by a Three-Vote Consensus of these Group Leads. In this case, that means Vladimir Kozlov from the HotSpot Group appoints a new Project Lead. I would personally recommend Stefan Karlsson as new Project Lead. Stefan has played an invaluable role in this project since its inception and is a natural successor. /Per Liden [1] http://openjdk.java.net/bylaws#project-lead
