What's up at Adoptium?
Byte Size (BEGINNER level)
With Eclipse Temurin, the Adoptium working group provides an open and enterprise-ready Java runtime that is based on OpenJDK. By combining the knowledge of working group members like Azul, IBM, Red Hat, or Microsoft, Adoptium achieved a critical goal within the Java community: Providing a vendor-neutral, free to use and enterprise-ready Java Runtime that is established, used and backed by several leaders in the Java ecosystem.
But the Adoptium WG has more projects than just Temurin. With AQAvit we defined a new level of quality checks for Java runtimes and the Adoptium Marketplace is used around the world to download certified and enterprise-ready Java distribution from many vendors.
In this session, we want to give an overview of all main projects and topics that are currently in work under the Adoptium top-level project. And as already said: We have way more to tell to you than just the dates for the next Temurin release.
