A Couple More Minutes
Today my 15 will be complete when my interview with
Kuldip
gets published on SDN-TV.
You will get an update on
OpenJDK
and the work the community has already accomplished
towards a completely Free runtime in creating
IcedTea.
Currently on SDN you can see
Barton
talk about our work on
packaging our Java Stack
for GNU/Linux and our
announcement with Ubuntu
earlier this year. And, yes, Barton is wearing a
Debian
Etch T-Shirt.
Thanks to mjw and the Fedora team collaborating with OpenJDK and packaging IcedTea for the *.rpm world. Thanks also to doko and man-di for packaging IcedTea for the *.deb world. Thanks to Betelgeuse for packaging OpenJDK and IcedTea for the *.ebuild world.
As you know I think packaging has long been overlooked in the Java ecosystem for getting all of the coolness "over the finish line". But, of course, it is important to thank all the men and women who have worked with Java Technology from the time it was Oak for building the rich platforms we have today.
Despite dalibor talking up my being an Executive
this is about all of us.
Back to the regularly scheduled program.
