Introdution - Tencent is going to contribute to OpenJDK(Internet mail)

[felixxfyang(杨晓峰)]

Hi Volker,
    we just open-sourced Tencent Kona[1] in this November, which is based on OpenJDK 8 updates. Linux(generic) / x86_64 has only been supported and will be extended to AARCH64 soon. Tencent Kona will be clearly  a “friendly-fork”. We will try to upstream as many patches as possible.

Welcome and great to see you joining!

Felix, if you don't mind, could you please say some words about which OpenJDK version on which platforms (i.e. OS/Architecture) Tencent is mainly using? I'm just curious to find out a little bit about the team's background :)

Regards,
Volker

Hi everyone,
This is Felix Yang from Tencent Technologies. Please allow me, for the sake of Tencent OpenJDK team,  to say hello to the OpenJDK community. In the past weeks, with kindly help from Oracle Java team, we extended our OCA signature to include OpenJDK project.
Tencent is one of the biggest Internet-based platform company in China, using technology to enrich the lives of Internet users and assist the digital upgrade of enterprises. We have huge amount of Java/JVM workloads, and our business is more-and-more heavily relying on Java ecosystem.
Tencent will contribute on the continuous success of Java, sharing our experience on extreme-scale internet services, Big Data, cloud and etc.
As a new comer, the team will learn to cooperate well with OpenJDK community. Probably not in fast pace, we will initially work on enhancements, fixes or backports, and participate technical discussions.

Best Regards,
Felix Yang(杨晓峰)
Principal Engineer,
Leader of Tencent TEG OpenJDK team
