Adopt OpenJDK @ BG JUG, Step 2

[Ivan St. Ivanov]

Hi Rory,

Yes, I have read it. I am asking something different. My question is
whether, provided we follow the process, the type of change would be
accepted. Or it would get rejected only because it does not bring any
tangible value to the project.

Cheers,
Ivan
