From christoph.langer at sap.com Wed Mar 6 10:00:13 2024 From: christoph.langer at sap.com (Langer, Christoph) Date: Wed, 6 Mar 2024 10:00:13 +0000 Subject: GB Nomination: Volker Simonis Message-ID: Hello, I?d like to nominate Volker Simonis for At-Large membership in the OpenJDK Governing Board. Volker is currently working in the Amazon Corretto team and has more than 15 years of experience with JVMs/JDKs. In the OpenJDK project, which he joined right from the start, he's a Reviewer since jdk8, he lead the 'ppc-aix-port' and 's390x-port' porting projects and he's a member of the 'hotspot', 'build', 'porters', 'vulnerability' and 'members' groups. He was the driving force behind SAP?s engagement in the OpenJDK project, initiated the SapMachine project, represented SAP in the JCP Executive Committee, served in the Java SE 9-13 Expert Groups and currently represents Amazon in the JCP Executive Committee. Volker is still an active OpenJDK Committer/Reviewer and was elected as an at-large member into the OpenJDK Governing Board in 2022. He is a well known and respected speaker at major Java conferences and has always been vocal in articulating the needs of the OpenJDK community with regards to openness, better infrastructure and tooling. With his experience to work on both, commercial (SAP JVM) as well as open source versions of the OpenJDK (SapMachine, Amazon Corretto), he is an ideal fit for the OpenJDK Governing Board.

Please do not vote in reply to this message.) Voting in the 2024 OpenJDK Governing Board Election begins momentarily. If you're an OpenJDK Member [1] then you're eligible to vote in this election and you should receive voting instructions via e-mail shortly. If you don't receive them in the next twenty-four hours then please contact registrar at openjdk.org for assistance. There are three candidates for two seats this year [2], so per the OpenJDK Bylaws [3] we will select two winners via Single Transferable Vote (STV) [4], specifically the Meek algorithm [5]. STV is a form of ranked-choice voting, in which you order the candidates that you wish to support in order of preference. You need not rank every candidate. If you wish to support only two candidates, for example, then add just those two to the ballot and then put them in your desired order.
