I am joining the openjdk to help for the next versions. I've worked on many projects written mostly in Java. I started contributing on opensource projects by wokking on the distribution plugin for Gradle. I hope I could help on development and documentation. I live in France near Lyon , you may meet me nearly at each meeting of LyonJUG. Cheers, S?bastien.

I am the leader of the OpenJDK 7 project and I work for Red Hat. I am leading this project on behalf of the OpenJDK community because the community (of which Red Hat is a part) needs to keep OpenJDK 7 going. Red Hat is surely going to be more involved than it has been. Oracle's reduced involvement makes this necessary. However, Red Hat does not lead OpenJDK 7: I do. It's important to make that distinction because this is a community project and in this role I am responsible to the community, not to Red Hat. So, this is not an attempt by Red Hat to control or take over OpenJDK 7 development. I intend to lead the project in the way that it has been run in the past, working together with the whole community. Andrew.
