Devoxx UK 2015: Adopt Workshops

[Mani Sarkar]

Thanks and all the material is online, now, the slides for the presentation
can be found here:
http://www.slideshare.net/neomatrix369/how-is-jdkjvm-built-back-then-and-now

And we are looking for feedback from the attendees and the rest of the
community.

So things that didn't work well is always something I want to know and help
tidy up those sections in the document.

Here's a quote from one of the attendees "I really like the idea of making
you own jdk with custom behaviour but it needs more content, organised
content", also another one from the same person "Yes, a cloud might help a
 lot" - we are working towards it.

A group of two sat with Windows machines and helped resolve a Windows issue
with the VirtualBox. Others noticed that the information on Testing needed
updating. And they have individually volunteered to help out with the
process.

The fast-bees were onto Vagrant and Docker, they said they will continue
building them at home using both the images they got from us and also the
scripts to build them at home from scratch.

Thank you again for attending, and everyone else involved.

Cheers,
Mani
