Re: Discussion About Community Contributions to NetBeans

Hello Daniel,

    thanks for your suggestion. I agree that submitting OCAs 
electronically would be an ideal solution. Having said that I will talk 
about it with Luke Kowalski who has been coordinating unification 
process for OCAs on the corporate level. Unfortunately, such a change 
would have to be feasible and beneficial for all other open source 
projects Oracle is sponsoring like OpenJDK, GlassFish, MySQL etc. and 
NetBeans is very special in this regard, because we receive way more 
OCAs than any other project.

    Luckily, Luke is coming to Prague next week and I have a 1:1 with 
him scheduled on Wednesday so I will surely discuss this topic with him. 
I believe that 4 supporters within just a few hours means something. I 
promise to inform you about his standpoint. We can agree on next steps then.

Best regards,
