The goal of this session is to improve the distro packaging guidelines (filesystem layout, packaging inter-dependencies, browser integration, jpackage.org integration, developer guidelines, etc.) used across GNU/Linux distributions for Java libraries and programs.
Success for the DevJam would be demonstrated by community agreement towards cross-distro Java policy augmented by distro specific developer guidelines for implementing the policy.

Simon Phipps
14:15-14:45
GNU Classpath Runtime Rumble
Heavyweight champions of various GNU Classpath based virtual machines will each give a short presentation on what makes their runtime special and fun to work with. What cool things they have been doing this last year. Their plans for next year. What other runtimes can learn from their experiences. And how the GNU Classpath community at large (and OpenJDK in the future) can help with that.
Tom Tromey (GCJ), Dalibor Topic (Kaffe), Christian Thalinger (Cacao), Robert Lougher (JamVM) and Ian Rogers (JikesRVM)
16:00-17:00
GNU Classpath Last Year & Next Year
GNU Classpath hackers will tell about their current work, their plans and priorities for the next year, and how others can help. We will have a discussion on how to maintain our core values (freedom, coverage, fun & innovation). Our commitment to our community, users and projects and how to make it easy to adopt and collaborate together with GNU Classpath and OpenJDK and how to help also the smaller projects with less resources to adopt the new innovation.

OpenJDK
Sun will discuss the roadmap for the OpenJDK project including goals and code release plans.
We will ask the community to participate in a discussion of governance models and contribution policies as to facilitate platform innovation while respecting the Java Community Process (JCP). Current operations plans for version control, bug tracking, patch submission and testing will also be covered. Engineers from the compiler team, the HotSpot team, the Java2D team and the Quality team will also give technical lightning talks.
