Free Java DevRoom talk proposal: Marlin, an OpenJDK Success Story: Vector Graphics on Steroids for Java 2D and JavaFX

[Laurent Bourgès]

Hi,

As my talk was not accepted, I wonder if it would possible to make
lightning talks between long talks (pause):
~ 2mins (3 slides max) to introduce FOSS projects that need help (code,
dev) and make discussion happen with the fosdem attendees (out of the room).

I would enjoy presenting 3 slides on Marlin 0.9 status (release by friday),
ask for help and announce I am looking for a new project leader.

Cheers,
Laurent

>
> Abstract
> The Marlin renderer is an open source pure-Java java2D anti-aliasing
> renderer, forked from the OpenJDK's Pisces renderer to provide a faster
> alternative with very good scalability to OpenJDK renderers. Since dec 2015
> I contributed back the Marlin renderer to OpenJDK 9 by the successfull JEP
> 265. In 2016 I ported it to JavaFX in the MarlinFX project to replace the
> shape rasterizer in OpenJFX 9, integrated in Dec. 2016. In 2017 I improved
> Marlin even more: new double precision pipeline & efficient path clipping,
> coming to OpenJDK 10.
> In this session, you will learn what's new in the Marlin / MarlinFX github
> projects, how to use Marlin in Java 8 / 9 / 10 (including some tuning),
> which releases are integrated in OpenJDK / JFX 9 & 10, and get performance
> results on both 2D & JavaFX renderers. As the single contributor to the
> Marlin project, I am looking for other people to help me testing &
> implementing new features.
