Subject: CFV: Withdraw sponsorship of Audio Engine, Font Scaler, Graphics Rasterizer, and Modules Projects

// This is a call for votes from Members of the Governing Board.
// If you aren’t a Member of the Governing Board, please don’t vote.

I propose that the GB withdraw Sponsorship of the long inactive Audio
Engine [0], Font Scaler [1], Graphics Rasterizer [2], and Modules [3]
Projects.

The first three Projects, Audio Engine, Font Scaler, and Graphics
Rasterizer, were created to develop code to replace encumbrances
which were present when the JDK was open-sourced in 2008.  These
Projects became inactive shortly after the features were delivered into
JDK 7 (GA Jul 2011).  Discussion of these areas of the JDK has been on
client mailings lists for years (currently client-libs-dev).

The Modules Project was an early approach to provide an
implementation of a distribution format for Java code and related
resources as defined by JSR 277 and JSR 294.  The Project became
inactive in 2008.  The Modules Project was superseded by Project
Jigsaw (and JSR 376) which was delivered into JDK 9 (GA Sep 2017).
Jigsaw discussion has been on jigsaw-dev since its creation in 2009.

Votes are due by 23:59 UTC on Wednesday, 11 October.

Only current Governing Board Members [a] are eligible to vote on this
motion.  Votes must be cast in the open by replying to this mailing
list.

For Lazy Consensus voting instructions, see [b].

Thanks,
Iris
