OpenJDK and IcedTea, A view from the Fedora side

Last week, on the first day of JavaOne, I was serendipitously able to grab Tom Fitzsimmons, (the owner of Iced Tea) Patrick Macdonald (Tom's boss) and Karsten Wade (community contact for OpenJDK) from Red Hat for a podcast.  We sat down and talked about the journey to get OpenJDK into Fedora that began in earnest last JavaOne.

BTW today just happens to be the launch of Fedora 9.  Congratulations to the whole Fedora community!
 

My Talk with Tom, Patrick and Karsten (23:43)  Listen (Mp3)   Listen (ogg)


Patrick, Tom (kneeling) and Karsten -- helping to put the "Open" in Java.
 

Some of the topics we tackle:

  • Attacking the "remaining 4%" to get OpenJDK into Fedora ASAP (leveraging GNUClasspath components)
  • FOSDEM 2007 -- building bridges with the Sun crew 
  • Trademark issues and the birth of "IcedTea"(Fitz really did go back to his hotel room and hack rpms last JavaOne after OpenJDK was announced)
  • IcedTea -> OpenJDK in Fedora 9.
  • OpenJDK now available for RHEL5 and CentOS5 via EPEL and getting it ready to being moved into RHEL5 proper
  • NetBeans coming soon to a Fedora 9 update
Pau for now...
