Sun engineers will continue to interact with external developers through mailing lists, IRC, blogs, and 1:1 e-mail conversations as we do now. Each of the component projects in the OpenJDK project will become the source base used for development within Sun of Sun’s commercial Java SE products, making the OpenJDK code commons the repository for the reference implementation of the Java SE Specification. Sun engineers associated with those components will also work with developers who show interest. Over the next year or so, Sun will make more of its internal processes, mailing lists, and materials available to the developer community. As part of Sun’s Community Awards initiative, the OpenJDK Community is pleased to be sponsoring the OpenJDK Community Innovator’s Challenge, an awards program intended to recognize developers with great ideas, and the talent and interest to bring them to life.
