As Adoptium Community Manager, I would like to share some updates about our 2024 plan to engage with our community and spread the word about Adoptium Working Group and all our projects: Eclipse Temurin, Eclipse AQAvit, Mission Control, and Eclipse Migration Toolkit for Java.
On September 10, Adoptium Community hosted their first edition of Adoptium Summit, a half-day online event.
With this edition, we aim to highlight and honour all the work done by the Eclipse Adoptium community to get your Temurin runtime released on time, secured, qualified, verified, well-performed and certified. I want to thank community members who talked about their work, what they are doing and why.
Starting with Bruno Verachten giving the Jenkins perspective on how to navigate the seas of JDK Management, followed by Haroon Khel explaining the release process with +50 builds released with a combination of platforms and versions.
Then San Hong Li from Alibaba explained how they migrated from Java 8 to 11+ LTS version and why and how they open sourced this tool as part of an Adoptium project, and Daniel Scanteianu how he is helping with the VDR (Vulnerability Disclosure Report);
Michael Winser and Shelley Lambert explained how the community worked on having the World’s Most Secure OpenJDK Distribution, why this is important for our enterprise users and what is next. You can read more about our case study.
Lan Xia and Longyu Zhang, PhD explained how they worked with the CMU Semester of Code on having AI-Infused Innovations in Adoptium AQAvit (our Quality verification test suite) and Openj9.
Scott Fryer gave a sneak peek at the session he will be sharing at Open Community for Java; the main focus is how to implement tools to easily enable access audits. And I have the pleasure of having a closing lightning talk to celebrate 2024 achievements and what is planned for the coming months.
If you missed the opportunity to join, don't worry. You can replay the event on Adoptium's YouTube channel. You can follow along the schedule, as we were perfectly on time (which is not an easy task).
Special thanks to the Hosts Tim Ellison, George Adams and Shelley Lambert, and the Eclipse Foundation team that helped somehow to get things done.
Now that we are welcoming the last quarter of the year, we are investing all our energies in two main events:
Open Community for Java (OCJ) a collocated event, part of Eclipse Foundation's main event Open Community Experience, in Mainz, Germany, next October 22-24. It will be an excellent opportunity to gather with all Java at Eclipse users, meet our community and attend some sessions about how our community work is done, and security. We will also have a Coding Lounge on Day 2, and on Day 3, I will have the pleasure of hosting a Diversity in Open Source Lunch. We will close the OCJ with an UnConference in the afternoon. The reduced price is still available until October 7, so go ahead and register now if you haven’t done so already.
- We are launching the Adoptium Summit Webinar Series, a monthly session where we want to hear from Temurin users, about Adoptium-related technologies and other topics of interest for our users. If you have an idea that you would like to be part of the webinar, a submission form is available; please send your proposal now.
