- Subject: Per now working for Sun
I'd like to let the GCJ community that as of a week ago I became a
Sun employee. (Not-quite full-time, so I'll have some time to
work on Kawa and other projects.) I was hired to work on the
JavaFX project that was just announced:
See https://openjfx.dev.java.net/
http://www.infoworld.com/article/07/05/07/javafx-javaone_1.html
I'll be working on compiling JavaFX to bytecode (using my Kawa
expertise), and also language specification.
I will not be directly working on OpenJDK, at least initially,
though of course I have contacts with the OpenJDK people, especially
the compiler group. And of course my working for Sun would have been
awkward to say the least without the Freeing of JDK.
I'll be wandering around JavaOne. I'll be at Chris Oliver's JavaFX
talks, and I have booth duty at the JavaOne Pavillion this evening
(6:15-8:30 during the reception) at "pod" #997. So if you're around,
say "hi"!
