Andrew has been on the OpenJDK Governing Board (GB) as an At-Large Member from it's inception. As part of this he has done a fantastic job representing the OpenJDK community and wider Java community as a whole. He is a person living and breathing Open Source and has shown this time and time again at events surrounding OpenJDK and on the OpenJDK governing board. He is a great listener and isn't shy of bringing up issues when they arise. As such, a great fit on a board that "oversees the structure, operation, and overall health of the OpenJDK Community"[1]. Beyond his role on the OpenJDK GB in the past, Andrew is a major contributor to the OpenJDK project. Most recently he has authored JEP JEP 487: Scoped Values (Fourth Preview). Andrew is the lead of the Aarch64 Port project, the JDK 11u stream of the JDK Updates Project and is a very active reviewer on the OpenJDK project. His technical expertise, diplomacy and expert knowledge of the OpenJDK bylaws and procedural intricacies of the OpenJDK project make him an excellent candidate for an At-Large Membership seat on the Governing Board.

Philip has been valuable member of the OpenJDK Govering Board for several years and I think he brought quite a lot to the success of the OpenJDK project. Philip has been involved in OpenJDK development and the community since the beginning of the project and is a member of numerous groups and projects and is an active reviewer and contributor (https://openjdk.org/census#prr). Philip has delivered a lot of outstanding contributions to the OpenJDK especially to the desktop area of the project. He is deeply involved in the Wakefield and OpenJFX projects and has spoken at many conferences (JavaOne, CodeOne, FOSDEM to name a few). Philip is also well-known and respected for his thorough evaluation of the proposed solutions and ideas. I think that he would be an ideal match for an OpenJDK Governing Board seat.

Roman has been an active contributor to Java and JVMs since more than 20 years. He is involved in OpenJDK since its inception in 2007, and has contributed in many areas including the graphics stack, observability tools, JIT compilers, Garbage Collectors and the HotSpot runtime. Roman is one of the principal authors of the Shenandoah GC since its inception in 2013, and is leading that project since 2018. He is also leading the project Lilliput since 2021. Roman is a Java Champion and has been speaking about Java and JVM technology at various conferences like JVMLS, FOSDEM and JavaOne. Professionally, Roman has worked on JVMs and OpenJDK in various companies. Starting in 2005, until 2009 at aicas on a realtime Java VM, 2009 to 2010 at Sun Microsystems/Oracle's Java client group, from 2012 to 2022 at Red Hat's OpenJDK group, and 2022 until now at Amazon's Corretto team. I think that his technical expertise, his long-term experience with the OpenJDK project and his ability to earn trust of the OpenJDK community make him an excellent candidate for an At-Large seat on the OpenJDK Governing Board.
