Adoption Group

The adoption group was formed out of the global Java User Group (JUG) Adopt OpenJDK programme. A majority of the original programme is expected to be folded up into this adoption group over time.

You can join in the discussions and activities of this group in the following ways:

Mission Statement

"To promote and support community involvement in the development, adoption and evangelism of OpenJDK projects"

Sustainable and Scalable

The Adoption group aims to fulfil that Mission Statement in a sustainable and scalable manner. The adoption group will likely focus on helping educate new contributors with regards to submitting relevant, high quality patches and supporting existing projects and groups with documentation, infrastructure and evangelism efforts.

Specific Goals

The adoption group aims to:

Lower technical barriers, allowing more developers, JUGs and organisations to get involved in OpenJDK
Improve the quality of Java (the language and the platform) with a focus on testing and clearing technical debt
Promote OpenJDK in the wider Java community
Broaden the base of contributors to OpenJDK

Initiatives

The Adoption Group has several initiatives on the go, a representative sample is below:

New Contributor - A guide on how to submit a patch to OpenJDK as a new contributor.
Developers Guide - For OpenJDK developers.
Quality Outreach - An initiative to involve the Java/JVM F/OSS ecosystem to CI test OpenJDK.

Initiatives at adoptopenjdk.java.net

TODO: This section is primarily over at adoptopenjdk.java.net and is in the process of being transfered over.

Adopt OpenJDK has several initiatives on the go, a representative sample is below:

Building OpenJDK - Up to date instructions on building OpenJDK across O/S's, IDEs,
Testing Java 8/9 - Get the Java OSS (and closed source world) tested early with OpenJDK/Java 8 and 9
Test Fests - Write tests to improve the quality of Java
Lambda Tutorials - Learning resources for developers new to Lambas in Java 8
Betterrev - Improve the patch submission, build and test lifecycle for OpenJDK

Housekeeping

As with any organisation, there's always some housekeeping.
