OpenJDK Committers’ Workshop, 4 February 2019

[mark.reinhold at oracle.com]

OpenJDK Committers and other regular contributors traditionally meet each
February, in the Free Java dev room at FOSDEM in Brussels.  The Free Java
room runs for just one day, however, so there’s not a lot of time for the
focused discussions amongst OpenJDK contributors that many of us enjoyed
at the first Workshop in Santa Clara, California last August.

We therefore plan to hold a one-day OpenJDK Committers’ Workshop on
Monday, 4 February, the day after FOSDEM.  This time there won’t be any
prepared presentations, since presumably those will have been presented
during FOSDEM.  We’ll instead run the entire day as an unconference, with
plenty of time to discuss both technical and community issues.

The precise location is yet to be determined but it will be in Brussels,
Belgium so as to be convenient for those attending FOSDEM.  There will
likely be a modest attendance fee to cover costs.

Space may be limited, depending upon the venue.  If that turns out to be
the case then preference will be given to Committers with a strong record
of past contributions, though some space will be made for new Committers
who have a strong potential for ongoing future contributions.

The Workshop is organized by:

  Andrew Haley (Red Hat)
  Doug Lea (SUNY Oswego)
  Liam Miller-Cushon (Google)
  Mark Reinhold (Oracle)
  Dalibor Topic (Oracle)
  Johan Vos (Gluon)
