Writing on InfoQ Charles Humble points out that the OpenJDK Governance board, which has responsibility both for governance issues and growing the community around Sun's open source implementation of Java, has not met for more than a year. Moreover the board has two vacant positions that have never been filled, and is yet to deliver the charter it was supposed to have produced by June 2008. Despite having apparently done nothing the board has had its life extended for another year."

  • Let's hope Oracle has the wisdom to spin off OpenJava to a not-for-profit Java Foundation structured along the same lines as the Mozilla Foundation and the Apache Software Foundation. Those have been spectacularly successful models.

Beware of geeks bearing graft.
