Hello,
We at Two Sigma Open Source, LLC, would like to make a contribution, to
the OpenJDK, of various enhancements to the the OpenJDK's JGSS stack,
specifically for better interoperability with native C GSS-API
implementations. As I understand it, Two Sigma Open Source, LLC, has
signed the OCA already.
The "How to contribute" [1] is the best place to start. I see you are
listed on the OCA signatories so that gets you through step 0. For the
patches then I think you'll need to start a discussion here on the
specific issues and changes that are you looking to contribute. This
project requires all contributions to be sent on the mailing list or
hosted on locations such as cr.openjdk.java.net. From your mail then it
sounds like you have a lot of changes so it's probably best to start
small, say with small fixes, until you've gain some experience with the
process of contributing and sponsors/reviewers build up confidence in
the changes. I suspect you will have the experience of doing
significantly better than showing up with large patch that add features
and changes large areas of JGSS. Starting small is really important for
sponsors and reviewers as the review and testing effort for many
contributions can be significant.
