Talk proposal: How to become an OpenJDK contributor

[Jesper Wilhelmsson]

* Title:
How to become an OpenJDK contributor

* Abstract:
Any and every developer can engage in the OpenJDK project and be part of improving the Java experience. There are many ways to contribute to OpenJDK. One of the more obvious ones is probably to participate in the design and development of language and runtime features. This talk will guide you on the road to become an active contributor to OpenJDK. We will go through all the steps from idea to contribution and look at how to actually contribute in practice. We will have a brief look at the structure behind the OpenJDK project and how to utilize the tools that are provided to aid the work.
