Hello Steffen,</div>
<div class="elementToProof" style="font-family: "Calibri Light", "Helvetica Light", sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
For the Java standard library, most of the discussions happen on core-libs-dev at openjdk list. The jdk list is usually for governance that applies to all of the JDK.</div>

Since you have improvement proposals, you can start either with a mail to the core-libs-dev list or a submission to bugs.java.com - note the latter creates an issue but almost certainly attracts less attention. If you have questions, asking in a list is almost
always better than submitting a particular enhancement. And I am willing to answer.</div>

For sponsoring, if your proposal in core-libs-dev is sensible, OpenJDK authors may create a JBS issue for you (which is exactly what bugs.java.com does, except that takes longer). And whoever is willing to create an issue for you is usually willing to review
and/or sponsor.</div>

my name is Steffen Nießing and I'm a software developer from Germany. I've studied Computer Science at the TU Dortmund University and always loved the topics on programming languages and compilation. For 2+ years I am developing web services using Java.</div>

I've found a few small documentation improvements for the Java standard library that led me here and I hope this is a good starting point in participating at the OpenJDK project.</div>

I am now searching for a sponsor to get started. Should I ask at the jdk-dev mailing list while discussing the changes or is sponsoring typically asked for on this mailing list?</div>
