Introduction

[Jonathan Bluett-Duncan]

Hi all,

My name is Jonathan, and I just had my OCA processed earlier today.

Dalibor Topic suggested that I post on this mailing list to introduce
myself, so I thought that would be a rather sensible thing to do. :)

I'm an undergraduate Computer Science student at the University of Surrey,
UK, and I'm in the middle of doing my dissertation. I've been following the
archives of core-libs-dev over the last few months due to my interest in
Java 9, and I'm currently in a situation where my studies aren't actually
going to take up much of my time, so I thought it would be fun to
participate on OpenJDK on the side, particularly on JEP 269: Convenience
Factory Methods for Collections <http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/269>, which
is an area that interests me especially and which I believe I have the
skills and knowledge to help out with.

I already posted yesterday on core-libs-dev at openjdk.java.net expressing my
interest on JEP 269, so if you have any advice for me with getting started
on OpenJDK or this particular JEP, please let me know, I'd be more than
happy to listen.

I look forward to working with you all.

Kind regards,
Jonathan Bluett-Duncan
