Request for Sponsorship for Collaboration with OpenJDK

[Henry GALVEZ]

Dear OpenJDK community,

My name is Henry and I am a software developer from INTM Group, France.
We are particularly interested in backporting the correction of "8293562: KeepAliveCache Blocks Threads while Closing Connections" to the OpenJDK version 11.0.17 and 11.0.18.

REF:
- https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/10401
- https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/commit/03f25a9c6924430ec4063b801b2b6ca55b9067c9
- https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8293562

We are committed to using, supporting and contributing to open-source software. Our company has recognized the importance of this correction and has asked me to carry out this development. Our company values open-source contributions and believes that it is essential to give back to the open-source community.

As company, we have signed the Oracle Contributor Agreement (OCA) and I am ready to begin the process of collaborating with the OpenJDK community. However, as a new developer in the community, I understand that I will need a sponsor to facilitate the integration of my work. This is where I would like to ask for your assistance.

I would be grateful if someone from the community could serve as a sponsor for this and future collaborations. I am confident that my experience and expertise in software development will be an asset to the OpenJDK community.

Thank you for considering my request. I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate and contribute to the OpenJDK project.

Best regards,
Henry
