Hi everyone, I am really pleased to learn about Sun's opening its JDK. I've been using Java for the past 10 years and I really think its full potential is yet to be uncovered. So often I had to fight with my colleagues with regard to Java's power. It seems that I can do my own contributions so that is can get even better. Sound in Java is really what makes me excited about doing. Right now I'm in the process of writing a small multitrack recording application and I would be really glad to help in developing open-sourced support for Linux audio backend (ALSA, JACK, PulseAudio). I haven't yet signed the SCA but will happily do so if necessary.
There's a hope in me that even projects like JMF can get revived now. We'll see... ;-) Serge P.S. I am a hobby bass/guitar player in my spare time and my wife plays keyboard/piano. It would be great if we could use open Java to help make music...
