Why are entrants from only certain countries eligible?
Laws and regulations governing contests vary from country to country and jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Given these differences, we regret that it isn’t always possible to include all jurisdictions in contests of this nature. This is not to say we don’t appreciate contributions and participation from developers in non-eligible countries! We are very grateful for all contributions. Regrettably, we can not include every country in the OCIC, for reasons outside of our control. If you are a not eligible to participate because of your country of residence but want to help out, please consider offering constructive feedback to proposals and projects discussed on the open mailing list, or participating in judging or administrating the program. There are many ways to participate, and everyone can contribute to making the OpenJDK Community even more interesting and rewarding for all.
