Producing community binaries for OpenJDK

Tue Mar 21 21:20:29 UTC 2017

Hi all,

We've made a good chunk of progress on this.  If anyone wants to join
the Slack channel where the developers are currently co-ordinating
then please send me a message directly.

There's a few bugs to iron out and some clearer wording to be added
but we should have a version out for review in the next week or so.

Cheers,
Martijn
