Since we wanted to have three sessions at Fosdem and had already decided those would be about GNU Classpath & Friends, OpenJDK and GNU/Linux distro Packaging it made sense to officially turn this into a shared meeting. As http://wiki.debian.org/Java/DevJam/2007/Fosdem says: We are organizing a meeting which is a merger of two events and what we hope will be the start of a close collaboration of the free software community with the new Sun OpenJDK project. In the past several years there were two main events around libre java for the GNU/Linux platform. The Fosdem "Escape the Java Trap" event organized by the GNU Classpath community, coordinating technical issues around implementing core libraries, compilers, tools and free runtimes. And "DevJam", a GNU/Linux distro packaging conference organized by Debian, but meant as a cross-distribution coordination meeting to set common guidelines for packaging java programs and libraries. Please do add your name to the wiki if you are interested in coming. And whether or not you would need sponsorship to come. It is a little late to try and get sponsorship (oops, everybody seems to be on Christmas break already...) but we will try. No promises of course, but we do need a list of interested, cool, hip hackers to start the conversations to show that people are really interested in coming together and make magic happen. So please add you name now if you are: http://wiki.debian.org/Java/DevJam/2007/Fosdem You will need to create a Wiki login. If you rather not please just email me with your details and I will add you. Thanks, Mark
