DevJam FOSDEM Slides

This is part of an ongoing series of followups to FOSDEM.

Here I want to collect all the slides from the DevJam. Several people have already blogged about the DevJam, including: tromey, Betelgeuse, geir, and mr (I'm sure there are many others too... please leave a comment with a link!).

  • Before the DevJam got started Betelgeuse talked about Java and Gentoo.
  • During the DevJam session fitzsim spoke about Java and RedHat.
  • doko's slides about Java in Debian and Ubuntu which covers topics such as:
    • The semantics of Debian and Ubuntu repositories
    • Debian and Ubuntu architecture support
    • Basics of Debian packaging
    • Issues for OpenJDK

I didn't have slides, but did talk about how cool it was to have a quorum of Linux distros present (those above as well as Daniel Bornkessel from OpenSuSE and David Walluck from JPackage). I also talked about how we can envision distro specific packaging working in concert with the upcoming Java Module System. And rsands -- colleague and OpenJDK Community Marketing manager (and Computer Scientist I will point out) -- had a fantastic idea about extending NetBeans for Java application developers such that it help applications integrate nicely with distro specific packaging and the Java Module System! Keep this up Rich and we're going to ask you to get coding!

[RedHat Java Dependency Graph]

Thanks for attending the DevJam, sharing your slides and your ideas, and most of all for collaborating with OpenJDK on envisioning the future of Java distro integration. There's so much more to talk about too... OpenJDK in academia... OpenJDK in the Linux toolchain... Stay tuned for more!

NOTE on submitting comments: The Roller software we use here at Sun is quite aggressive about which comments it likes. Please be patient if your comment which includes HTML is not displayed immediately. I will ensure it gets published the next time I check e-mail.
