Project

If people are interested how this process works, so OpenJDK lives on GitHub, how can i see the commits and how they keep merging this and is that a separate repository is it a branch within openjdk you have any

idea often with these larger projects there is a different repository so it'll be like a valhalla one because they don't want to merge it into the main line because it's not part of the main line but they want to they want to take a branch from the from the mainline so that they can develop against that so that they keep tracking the changes in the rest of Java.

But it won't be merged back into the mainline until it's actually ready.

In terms of understanding what's going on, there's two kind of things that you can look at.

Because finally, there is the idea of putting a JSON API into Java.

Yeah, I read about it.

So that means that all my projects where I have three different dependencies like Jackson and the other ones and Jason and what is it all, I will not need them completely? Or is it the minimal support for Jason? What should I expect from it?

Yeah, I wouldn't hold breath.

That is a project-

Yeah

... worthy of the name Project.

Right? Yeah.

Did you see Rags in the, in the frame?

So, uh, I think I've done this before.

This is one, one of my earlier electronics projects was just making like a, um, like a PPG sensor.

And if you just leave the...

Like for instance, if you just put a green LED next to a photodiode and then you amplify the photodiode, um, you'll see, like if you-- and you scope the, the output of the amplifier, then on the oscilloscope screen, you'll just see your pulse like very small, like 10 millivolts or something.

That's too bad.

[laughs] All right.

Well, hey, I really appreciate you being here, and, uh, yeah, I'm looking forward to keeping following, following all your projects.

It seems like you're doing a lot of interesting things.

I wish that I had, like, a PBS narrator right now to say the title because it- when I think about it in my head, that's the voice I hear.

So it's The People Behind the Project.

I didn't do a very good PBS voice.

Yeah, the only thing we have on our little, uh, uh, recording is a robot voice, so that's-

That's sort of, like, uh, opposite, I think, what we're trying to say.

[laughs]

[laughs] So People Behind the Har- Project really is, though, the human story of how the projects came to be, and that is, especially in these times, probably your most underrated marketing asset.

Yeah.
