Hi,

As I have already written, today I was introduced to the OpenJDK Quality 
Outreach program. You can read about it at Quality Outreach - Quality Outreach 
- OpenJDK Wiki 
(java.net)<https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/quality/Quality+Outreach>. In 
discussing this with Geertjan we felt that we should join the approximately 160 
FOSS projects that participate. I will be happy to be the point of contact of 
this so that I can finally justify why the Duke award we were given a few years 
ago that lives in my office here at home (the pandemic has prevented me from 
passing it along at a conference).

Joining this group will mean, as you can see from their web page, that we will 
carry out tests to determine if a JDK change may affect NetBeans. We need to  
discuss, if we choose to get involved, how this could come about. Please look 
over the information. I will bring any questions you have to Rory and the 
Quality group.

Let's discuss whether we should become involved. I am guessing  that we might 
have caught the Security Manager issue sooner and then discovered the issue 
with how it was deprecated. This is not about directly influencing the OpenJDK 
but rather an opportunity to test proposed changes to the JDK as soon as is 
possible.

Tell us what you think. Should we join?
