We now have a complete GlassFish interim Governance Board with the addition of Simon Phipps and Tony Ambrozie, Director of Architecture at American Express. The complete roster is Tony, Greg Luck (Wotif.com) and Pierre Delisle (Google), and Simon and myself (Sun). Together we hope to represent the interests of the users and contributors to the GlassFish community. The next step is going to be for Karen Tegan Padir to sign a letter analogous to the one that Laurie Tolson signed Charting the OpenJDK IGB. Stay tuned. |

Good news! Pierre will join the GlassFish Interim Governance Board. Pierre was very active at Apache and JCP communities for many years and I feel very lucky that he has found time in his busy schedule at Google to help the GF community. So far we have Greg, Pierre and myself. Two more yet to finalize - one Sun, one non-Sun. |

One of the JavaOne 2007 announcements was the signing of the OpenJDK Charter and the creation of the Interim Governance Board. Here in the GlassFish Community we almost took these steps during the Open Java Launch, but ended up delaying it. Now, with all the new Projects and Partners the urgency has increased, so time to get it done! As I mentioned during GlassFish Day and during the GlassFish BOF, we are going to get it done ASAP. Karen and Tom have already agreed to the general idea and we will adjust the OpenJDK proposal. Expect a formal announcement sometime this summer. |
