Resigning as s390x Port Project Lead

[Amit Kumar]

Hi Volker and Goetz,

I would like to express my gratitude for the efforts you have put into the s390x-Port-Project. I also extend a special thanks to Lutz<mailto:lutz.schmidt at sap.com> and Martin<mailto:martin.doerr at sap.com> for their assistance during the Onboarding process for this project.

Following internal discussion, I am pleased to inform you that my Management has approved my appointment as the new Project Lead for s390x-port. I am honoured to accept this role and am eager to continue our collaboration on the OpenJDK project.

Our team will be responsible for maintaining and supporting jdk (head), jdk8u, jdk11u, and jdk17u. We will make sure that everything operates seamlessly on these repositories through regular builds and testing.

Best regards,
Amit Kumar

I hereby resign as s390x Port Project Lead.

The s390x port has been integrated into the mainline in JDK 9 [1] and
is ever since supported there by SAP and recently IBM. Since then the
s390x Project is responsible for maintaining the port (updates can be
found in the the s390x Project Wiki [2]).

According to the OpenJDK Bylaws, the Lead of the sponsoring group
(Dalibor Topic from the Porters Group) needs to assign a new Project
Lead [4]. I want to propose Amit Kumar (OpenJDK name amitkumar [3]) as
new Project Lead. Amit is employed by IBM and actively working on the
s390 maintenance and feature implementation. He recently became an
OpenJDK Committer with a track record of 38 commits to the project
[5].

Thank you and best regards,
Volker
