Message-ID: <5F122E6B-31F1-4BFA-9779-396792C7050E@gmail.com>

Hi Everyone, 
  My name is Miro Wengner ( Kopecky Miroslav ). Maybe some of you already know me under my previous surename. 
I?ve been participating on Java Communities since 2002 when I?ve officially joined SUN Microsystem as the Software Engineer, before I?ve worked there as a student.
I?ve been very actively supporting JUGs and Java oriented conferences aside of my daily duties. Letter I?ve been also participating on 
Sun Campus Ambassador program and helping in creating proper demos and speaking at universities  in middle Europe or various conferences.
I?m also one of the core co-founder of world known conference GeeCON  located in Poland and GeeCON Czech. 
I?m also author of open-source Robo4j.io <http://robo4j.io/> framework. Robo4j.io <http://robo4j.io/> is written in Java 8. The framework allows synchronisation of asynchronous events which facilitates the development of 
more advanced IoT systems (robotics, AI, big-data etc.) 

Over years I?ve worked on different Senior positions, my current position is Senior Developer at Finance field. My responsibilities core mappers, 
API designs  and 3rd parties connectors. My main dev. language is Java, but I?ve no problem with any other language. 


My intent: 
I?d like to be involved in OpenJDK development. I can write tests, help with Java performance or etc. 
I?m very interested in Java performance related to the robotics, AI etc.

staus: 
I?ve signed OCA and JCP Associate Membership 

Looking forward for your response.
Cheers, 
Miro

Hi Miro,

Welcome to OpenJDK!  The best place to start is
http://openjdk.java.net/contribute/ and you can join the Adoption Group (
http://openjdk.java.net/groups/adoption/) if you get stuck on any next
steps.

Cheers,
Martijn

From: brian.goetz at oracle.com (Brian Goetz)
Date: Wed, 25 Jan 2017 10:50:52 -0500
Subject: CFV: Project Amber
Message-ID: <dc5812c6-d3da-94e8-1607-cf0cb49ac11d@oracle.com>

I hereby propose the creation of Project Amber with myself as the Lead 
and the Compiler group as the sponsoring group.

In accordance with the OpenJDK guidelines [1], this project will provide 
a venue to explore and incubate smaller, productivity-oriented Java 
language features that have been accepted as candidate JEPs under the 
OpenJDK JEP process [2], including:

  - JEP 286 (Local Variable Type Inference) [3]
  - JEP 301 (Enhanced Enums) [4]
  - JEP 302 (Lambda Leftovers) [5]

as well as future suitable JEPs that are adopted by the project.

The initial Reviewers and Committers will be:

* Brian Goetz
* John Rose
* Paul Sandoz
* Maurizio Cimadamore
* Dan Smith
* Gavin Bierman
* Vicente Romero
* Alex Buckley
* Jon Gibbons
* Joe Darcy
* Remi Forax
* Mark Reinhold


The project will host at least the following mailing list:

* amber-dev for development discussions and user feedback
* amber-spec-experts for design and specification discussions

The initial source of this project will be based on a clone of a JDK 10
repository.  Changes from the JDK 10 parent will be synced into Amber 
periodically.  Similar to Projects Lambda and Valhalla, we will follow a 
"commit first, review later" policy, as code will not flow directly from 
the Amber repositories into the JDK repositories, but instead will be 
done by a "curated merge" where select changes are extracted into new 
changesets for incorporation into JDK repositories when they are ready 
for inclusion.

Votes are due by Feb 8, 2017.

Only current OpenJDK Members [6] are eligible to vote on this
motion.  Votes must be cast in the open on the discuss list.
Replying to this message is sufficient if your mail program
honors the Reply-To header.

For Lazy Consensus voting instructions, see [7].

That should be 'volunteering weeks' or "working weeks as in 10 days"
or something.  (I donate my time to a human rights cause, and getting
stuck into Java's String was ultimately a pleasant sidetrack from that.)

BTW pre-Java-1.0 was my first foray into the language back in my
university days, and it became my primary choice from that point.
C++ finally "caught up" (on what I consider important) with namespaces
and most recently modules.  Java String's inability to handle graphemes
with any real proficiency has been the proverbial never ending teeth
grinding story for me over the past couple decades ...

Apart from bulking up core Java and its specification and TCK even
more, no.

But aren't we looking at this in the wrong way?  I would have thought
the Right Thing would be to make Protobuf?s ByteString into a library
in its own right.

I agree that would be a good solution.  It would be really nice to
have a library with really good api practices and no dependencies.  I
discussed that at the end of the post.  There is a minor drawback, w/o
something in java you will end up with multiple  libraries like this
and interoperability will not be as good as if it were in Java.
However that being said, having this library would be infinitely
better than not having it.

I have been thinking about creating a library like this, I just have
not found the time.   I'll see if I can get something started and
circle back asking for review from this community and the protobuf
community.
