Hi all,

The GNU Classpath distro DevJam was a great success. It seems we brought
some harmony into the hearts and minds of the different distributions
(Ubuntu, SkoleLinux, Debian, Fedora, Suse, Gentoo, OpenEmbedded) that
participated. And being able to talk and debug some issues with several
of the upstream projects involved (GNU Classpath, kaffe, gcj, Cacao) was
definitely inspirational and productive.

Here is a list of other summaries and notes of the meeting:

(Please send me, or the devjam mailing-list, updates and additions.)

On request of several of the participants I have setup a mailing-list so
people can keep in touch and coordinate cross-distro/packaging/project
things. If you are interested please send an email to
devjam-subscribe@developer.classpath.org
The mailing-list has a public archive accessible through:
http://developer.classpath.org/mailman/listinfo/devjam

And if you are interested in participating or helping out with a
followup meeting please see the wiki about DevJam++:

Cheers,

Mark
