  • Dalibor Topic, Sun Microsystems FOSS Ambassador held a scientific colloquium on Tue. 24th of June at 18:00h about OpenJDK and related topics :)
  • Students, developers and faculty members enjoyed very much the lecture of Dalibor and after the talk and the official Q&A were over, half a dozen of students and developers took the chance to further discuss and follow project details and the evolution of the JDK. These face-to-face-talks were another special opportunity to get get in contact with someone from deep inside the development project. Thank you, Dalibor, for this additional time and good discussions.In the talk itself Dalibor briefly introduced the OpenJDK and it's architecture. Along a timeline spanning over the past couple of years, he gave a very personal view of the history of OpenJDK, the community and also pointed out the role of GNU/Linux for the project and especially governance. This was followed by a brief outlook of what may be expected concerning the project in the near future. Altogether it was great first hand information for everyone and showed how lively the discussion around open source software is and how well development in this branch is being monitored by many students and developers.
