Dear Jigsaw dev group, I am Ivan and am part of the Bulgarian Java User Group. Together with my fellow members (in copy of this mail) we are driving the adoption of OpenJDK in our JUG for the last year. We have some progress: already done a few session in our community and at a local conference (Java2Days) along with hands on labs on how you can get the sources, build and modify OpenJDK. We also contributed a few VMs with built JDK and setup IDEs to the adoption group so that other JUGs can use them out of the box. This spring we had a series of presentations on what's new in Java 8 and the last one was more dedicated on Java 9 and especially on Project Jigsaw. One of our members (Martin Toshev) is really interested in the modularization topic, has broad experience with OSGi and showed us how we can build our own Jigsaw modules.
So we thought that as this topic is one of great importance in Java 9, we would like to contribute somehow to it. I went to the OpenJDK BOF at this year's JavaOne and I was advised to write to this mailing list. So would you please tell us how we can help? Maybe get an issue/bug or something else? We will be more than happy to participate! Thanks, Ivan
