FOSDEM 2019 Free Java Dev Room Call For Participation
We are pleased to announce the Call for Participation in the FOSDEM 2019 Free Java DevRoom! This year FOSDEM Free Java DevRoom will be on Saturday the 2nd of February 2019 in Bruxelles, Belgium, with the usual events and meetings surrounding the main show on Friday, Saturday and Sunday on that weekend; please, refer to the FOSDEM website for the schedule of the whole event: https://fosdem.org/ The Free Java DevRoom has become unique in that it has attracted hackers from very different Free Software Java projects, giving the opportunity to bring together companies of various sizes, different project communities, mainstream core Java developers, alternative Java language implementations and runtimes, and everything that form the Free Java Universe, everybody participating to share their knowledge in an atmosphere of cooperation and friendly competition. The Java Community has never been more vibrant than now, and it's moving faster and is more modular than ever: a real "Duke McRelease and the Alien Mindbenders" and back together into a perfect picture! Those are indeed very exciting times, and we are all part of it! So, come and share your experiences at the Java Dev Room at FOSDEM! As always, check out our wiki for more details on the conference: https://wiki.debian.org/Java/DevJam/2019/Fosdem And join the Free Java DevoRoom mailing list [java-devroom at lists.fosdem.org]: https://lists.fosdem.org/listinfo/java-devroom *** IMPORTANT *** Fosdem organisers have expressed the desire to record and stream everything, and like every year we will do our best to record the sessions by default. We will use the same format as last year, so please submit one (or more) 25 minute talk proposal(s) by the 1st of December 2018, 23.59 CET on the mailing list. We may also select a small number of 45 minutes talk. If you wish to submit a 45 minutes talk please state this in the proposal, all proposals will be considered to be of 25 minute by default otherwise. A template for submitting a talk can be found at: http://wiki.debian.org/Java/DevJam/2019/Fosdem/CallForParticipation Tracks will be announced around the 5th of December on the mailing list.

Title: Starter's Guide to hacking the OpenJDK JVM Preferred time: 45 minutes Abstract: The OpenJDK JVM is a large and complex piece of software. It is often hard for those new to the the OpenJDK project to know exactly what it does or, granted that, how it does it or, granted both, where to find the damned code that makes it all happen. This talk attempts to address all 3 of those problems. It describes the various subsystems that make up the JVM, provides an overview of key aspects of their design and references the most important C++ implementation classes which implement that design, highlighting where their definitions reside in the source tree. Clearly, this talk is doomed to fail. Those who survi^H^H^H^H enjoy it almost certainly won't be able to just rock up and fix any old bug or add any new feature they fancy. However, they certainly will have a much better idea of what might go wrong when they try and will possess some useful clues as to where to look in order to understand why their changes don't work and how to fix them.
