<div class="PlainText">// This is a call for votes from Members of the Governing Board.<br>
// If you aren’t a Member of the Governing Board, please don’t vote.<br>
<br>
I propose that the GB withdraw Sponsorship of the long inactive Audio<br>
Engine [0], Font Scaler [1], Graphics Rasterizer [2], and Modules [3]<br>
Projects.<br>
<br>
The first three Projects, Audio Engine, Font Scaler, and Graphics<br>
Rasterizer, were created to develop code to replace encumbrances<br>
which were present when the JDK was open-sourced in 2008. These<br>
Projects became inactive shortly after the features were delivered into<br>
JDK 7 (GA Jul 2011). Discussion of these areas of the JDK has been on<br>
client mailings lists for years (currently client-libs-dev).<br>
<br>
The Modules Project was an early approach to provide an<br>
implementation of a distribution format for Java code and related<br>
resources as defined by JSR 277 and JSR 294. The Project became<br>
inactive in 2008. The Modules Project was superseded by Project<br>
Jigsaw (and JSR 376) which was delivered into JDK 9 (GA Sep 2017).<br>
Jigsaw discussion has been on jigsaw-dev since its creation in 2009.<br>
<br>
Votes are due by 23:59 UTC on Wednesday, 11 October.<br>
<br>
Only current Governing Board Members [a] are eligible to vote on this<br>
motion. Votes must be cast in the open by replying to this mailing<br>
list.<br>
<br>
For Lazy Consensus voting instructions, see [b].<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
