From volker.simonis at gmail.com Wed May 12 13:25:54 2021 From: volker.simonis at gmail.com (Volker Simonis) Date: Wed, 12 May 2021 15:25:54 +0200 Subject: Resigning as PowerPC/AIX Port Project Lead Message-ID: I hereby resign as PowerPC/AIX Port Project Lead. The PowerPC/AIX Port [1] was proposed almost exactly 9 years ago [2]. It was the first externally contributed, full OpenJDK port and paved the way for subsequent porting projects like aarch64 and s390. It was also the beginning of a fruitful cooperation between SAP, IBM and Oracle who have all contributed to the success of this project. While PowerPC and especially AIX can still be seen as "niche" platforms, the presence of the PowerPC/AIX Port in the OpenJDK main line has helped to considerably improve and streamline the whole code base. I hope this mutually beneficial collaboration will continue in the future and would like to propose Martin Doerr (mdoerr [3]) as new Project Lead. Martin is a true PowerPC/Itanium expert and a real memory model wizard. He's a long term member of the SAP JVM team, an OpenJDK Reviewer and a member of the OpenJDK HotSpot and Members Groups [3]. In the end, and 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 for myself can't think of any better candidate and warmly recommend Martin for this position.

In my capacity as the Porters Group Lead, I'll be happy to appoint Martin as the new Project Lead, and to wish him ongoing success.
