Devoxx UK 2015: Adopt Workshops

[Mani Sarkar]

Hi all,

As we all have been trumpeting about Devoxx UK for over 6 months, its now
happening in less than a week.

The first Adopt Workshop
<http://cfp.devoxx.co.uk/2015/agenda/workshop/wednesday> will kick off at
10am with Adopt OpenJDK workshop: How is Java/JVM built?
<http://cfp.devoxx.co.uk/2015/talk/ILF-3859/Adopt_OpenJDK_workshop:_How_is_Java%2FJVM_built%3F>
and
we have been preparing for it for sometime.

All those who are attending please take a look at the How to prepare before
attending a hackday or workshop?
<http://neomatrix369.gitbooks.io/adoptopenjdk-getting-started-kit/content/en/how-to-navigate/prepare-before-hackday.html>
and
download all the binaries its asking you to download. For those who are
experienced or advance attendees their is a section for you as well on the
same page, further down.

If you come prepared on the day, it will only help all of us move faster
and do more interesting things.

Please try the instructions our and let us know *what has worked for you*
and *what hasn't worked*.*  In my attempt to test them out I have noticed
that the recent OpenJDK9 builds break on Linux, both on the VMs we
distribute and on the vagrant created VMs (light-weight). The native builds
seem to do well. Can someone please try them out please and let me know if
that is the case for you as well ? *

I'll post the error messages here and on build mailing lists to get quick
help on them from you guys.

Thanks again.

Cheers,
Mani
