Mark, As a casual participant on various OpenJDK lists for the past few years, I'm interested in contributing more to OpenJDK in my free time. The OpenJDK Community Bylaws do offer some clarification for participating, but I do have some comments and questions regarding the process of becoming an OpenJDK Contributor. I sent a scanned copy of the OCA to sun...@sun.com back in January, but never received a response. Potential contributors may be dissuaded from spending time contributing if they do not receive a response. The OCA FAQ [1] states "You should check with the project you intend to contribute where your OCA should be sent." Is this process described in "How to contribute" [2] still the correct way to submit an OCA for OpenJDK contribution? In section 2 of the OpenJDK Community Bylaws, would it make sense to reference the list of valid OpenJDK Contributors [3] [4]? Should the Contributor paragraph describe the process for submitting a signed Oracle Contributor Agreement?
Thanks, Dave [1] http://openjdk.java.net/legal/oca-faq.pdf [2] http://openjdk.java.net/contribute/ [3] http://db.openjdk.java.net/people [4] http://sca.java.net/CA_signatories.htm On Fri, Jun 10, 2011 at 4:50 PM, <mark.reinh...@oracle.com> wrote: > The final draft of the OpenJDK Community Bylaws is now available [1], > along with diffs relative to the previous version [2].
