I think a lot of concrete issues were discussed 2 months ago:
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/gb-discuss/2011-February/date.html

But to summarize in concrete actionable items wrt the board and
governance:

- Get rid of the SCA. Commit to using the GPL for everything.
  People should be able to be members of the community without
  having to assign all their rights on non-reciprocal terms to
  Oracle.
- Don't tie OpenJDK work to the JCP/JSRs as long as those use
  terms which are community-hostile/GPL-incompatible.
- Create a board without non-OpenJDK hackers or appointed seats.
- Make the infrastructure open to the community instead of company
  controlled.
- Keep communicating openly instead of hiding for months and then
  publishing declarations.

Cheers,

Mark
