Make your Free Java mobile. || || || || || What if you want to scale up or down your VM or class library. Is it easy to switch between completely different "full" and "small" versions of the core class libraries? How do you make a VM as flexible as possible to adopt to the available resources and core classes? What has the Mobile and Embedded community been up to this last year? || || || || 15:00 || VM interfaces: GNU/Classpath vs. OpenJDK vs. PhoneME ([[attachment:fosdem2008-vm-interfaces.pdf|Slides]]) || Christian Thalinger || || || 15:15 || MIDPath ([[http://midpath.thenesis.org/files/2008/2/MIDPath-FOSDEM_2008-230208-26145937.pdf|Slides]]) || Guillaume Legris || || || 15:30 || Mobile and Embedded Java || Ray Gans || || || 15:45 || Discussion || || || Saturday || 16:00-16:40 ||'''Women in Java Technology''' || || || || ||Female programmers are rare. Female Java programmers are even more rare. As female Java programmers ourselves, our interest in this issue led us to start Duchess, an organization to support and promote women in the Java industry and hopefully to encourage more to join. || || || || 16:00 ||Duchess, Ladies in Java ||Clara Ko, Linda van der Pal || || || 16:20 || Discussion || || || Saturday || 16:40-17:00 || ''Break'' || || ||Saturday ||17:00-17:30 ||'''Hacking OpenJDK & Friends''' || || || || ||Hear about directions in hacking Free Java from the front lines || || || ||17:00 ||OpenJDK Experiences ||Roman Kennke || || ||17:10 ||'''Mashups: [[http://icedtea.classpath.org/wiki/BrandWeg|BrandWeg]], [[http://icedtea.classpath.org/wiki/IcePick|IcePick]]''' In this talk, I will introduce BrandWeg and IcePick, which introduce new ways to make use of the availability of the OpenJDK source code. IcePick allows the language tools (javac, javadoc, javah, javap, apt) to be compiled separately using a simple autotools build system and used with either OpenJDK or GNU Classpath. BrandWeg represents the inverse approach to IcedTea of the OpenJDK/GNU Classpath combination problem; instead of taking OpenJDK and patching it with GNU Classpath, we patch up GNU Classpath with extracts from the OpenJDK source code base. ||Andrew Hughes || || ||17:20 ||Discussion || || || Saturday ||17:30-19:00 || '''VM Rumble, Porting and Architectures''' || || || || || There are lots of runtimes able to execute your java byte code. But which one is the best, coolest, smartest, easiest portable or just simply the most fun? || || || || || Various virtual machine hackers will each give a short presentation on what makes their runtime special and fun to work with. What cool things they have been doing this last year. What are their plans for next year. What can other runtimes learn from their experiences. And how can YOU help! The session will end with a general VM discussion. || || || || 17:30 || Kaffe || Dalibor Topic || || || 17:40 || JamVM || Robert Lougher || || || 17:50 || Hot{{{}}}Spot [[attachment:HotSpot-ProgressAndFutures-20080224-1750.pdf|Slides]] || Peter Kessler || || || 18:00 || JikesRVM || Ian Rogers || || || 18:10 || CACAO ([[attachment:fosdem2008-vm-rumble.pdf|Slides]]) || Christian Thalinger || || || 18:20 || ikvm || Jeroen Frijters || || || 18:30 || Zero-assembler Port ([[http://inauspicious.org/files/icedtea/fosdem-08-slides.pdf|Slides]]) || Gary Benson || || || 18:40 || Mika || Chris Gray || || || 18:50 || Discussion || || || || 19:00 || ''Break'' || || || Saturday || 20:00 || ''Dinner'' || Vert De Gris || || || ? || A La Mort Subite || || || Sunday || 9:00-10:00 || '''Distro Rumble''' || || || || || So which GNU/Linux distribution integrates java packages best?

Free Java Meeting
Let's meet in Brussels
The next meeting of the Free/Libre Open Source Software Java developers will take place in Brussels during FOSDEM, February 23 and 24 in Brussels, Belgium.
In the past several years there were two main events around libre java for the GNU/Linux platform. The Fosdem "Escape the Java Trap" event organized by the GNU Classpath community, coordinating technical issues around implementing core libraries, compilers, tools and free runtimes. And "DevJam", a GNU/Linux distro packaging conference organized by Debian, but meant as a cross-distribution coordination meeting to set common guidelines for packaging java programs and libraries.
The goals of the Free Java Meeting will be:
- Clearing OpenJDK encumbrances
- Increasing Java Ubiquity: working together across projects and platforms
- Improve the distro packaging guidelines (filesystem layout, packaging inter-dependencies, browser integration, developer guidelines, etc.) used across GNU/Linux distributions for java libraries and programs.

Welcome to the Free Java Meeting |
|
|
|
Welcome and introduction to the projects, people and themes that make up the Free Java Meeting at Fosdem. |
|
|
|
After welcoming and introducing the people and projects in the room various people from GNU Classpath, OpenJDK and Sun will look back on the past year and try to look into the future. There will also be a short presentation on the OpenJDK Community Innovator's Challenge. |

Mobile Java |
|
|
|
Take your freedom to the max! Make your Free Java mobile. |
|
|
|
What if you want to scale up or down your VM or class library. Is it easy to switch between completely different "full" and "small" versions of the core class libraries? How do you make a VM as flexible as possible to adopt to the available resources and core classes? What has the Mobile and Embedded community been up to this last year? |

Women in Java Technology |
|
|
|
Female programmers are rare. Female Java programmers are even more rare. As female Java programmers ourselves, our interest in this issue led us to start Duchess, an organization to support and promote women in the Java industry and hopefully to encourage more to join. |

Hacking OpenJDK & Friends |
|
|
|
Hear about directions in hacking Free Java from the front lines |
|
|
17:00 |
OpenJDK Experiences |
Roman Kennke |
|
17:10 |
Mashups: BrandWeg, IcePick In this talk, I will introduce ?BrandWeg and ?IcePick, which introduce new ways to make use of the availability of the OpenJDK source code. ?IcePick allows the language tools (javac, javadoc, javah, javap, apt) to be compiled separately using a simple autotools build system and used with either OpenJDK or GNU Classpath. ?BrandWeg represents the inverse approach to ?IcedTea of the OpenJDK/GNU Classpath combination problem; instead of taking OpenJDK and patching it with GNU Classpath, we patch up GNU Classpath with extracts from the OpenJDK source code base. |

VM Rumble, Porting and Architectures |
|
|
|
There are lots of runtimes able to execute your java byte code. But which one is the best, coolest, smartest, easiest portable or just simply the most fun? |
|
|
|
Various virtual machine hackers will each give a short presentation on what makes their runtime special and fun to work with. What cool things they have been doing this last year. What are their plans for next year. What can other runtimes learn from their experiences. And how can YOU help! The session will end with a general VM discussion. |

Distro Rumble |

|
|
So which GNU/Linux distribution integrates java packages best? Find out during this distro shootout! |
|
|
|
How do the various GNU/Linux distributions integrate java based libraries and applications into their packaging systems. How can we improve cross-distro packaging guidelines (filesystem layout, packaging inter-dependencies, browser integration, developer guidelines, etc.) used across GNU/Linux distributions for java libraries and programs? |

OpenJDK and ?IcedTea, how are they made and how do you test them? |
|
|
|
In the factory there will be discussions about functional testing and quality, an overview of the work of the client team and an overview of the transformation process that turns OpenJDK/HotSpot into ?IcedTea with some spicy applet, ?LiveConnect and Web Start support. |

Lots of examples of cool work in progress. |
|
|
|
Real hackers show their work, how they do their work and where it takes Free Java next. Examples are gstreamer integration, graphics through the framebuffer, jnode a full os in java, ?NetBeans for ?HotSpot hacking and Jalimo bringing Free Java to maemo and openmoko devices. |

|
How to combine the holy trinity of Free Java? Freedom, Compatibility and Community. |
|
|
|
Java is Free! Now how do we keep it that way? How do we measure compatibity? What about this mysterious and non-free JCK? What is the future of the JCP process? Where does the community come in and how can you help? |
