Hi everybody,

I hereby nominate Viktor Klang [1] to Membership in the OpenJDK Members Group.

Viktor is a Reviewer in the JDK Project, a Committer in the Leyden Project, and a member of the Core Libraries Group.

Viktor joined the JDK team more than three years ago after an illustrious career in the Scala world. Since joining the JDK team, he has led the Stream Gatherers JEP [2], he has made major contributions to the Structured Concurrency JEP [3], and he has taken over maintenance of the Streams library and the java.util.concurrent package. He is currently working on Marshalling, which we hope will eventually replace Java's classic serialization mechanism.

Votes are due by Thursday, March 12, 2026, at 23:59 UTC.

Only current members of the OpenJDK Members Group [4] are eligible to vote on this nomination. Votes must be cast in the open by replying to this mailing list.

For Three-Vote Consensus voting instructions, see [5].
