Working Group Resources Primary Focus

Deliver secure, high-quality, and timely Temurin binaries on core platforms

Core platforms are defined by the Adoptium PMC (see later slide).
Temurin’s supported binaries are derived from OpenJDK long term supported source streams and the latest dev stream release. Presently that is 8u, 11u, 17u, 21u.
The duration of community supported binaries is defined by the Adoptium PMC and shown on the Adoptium website.

Budget and resources first call is on the primary focus area

Maintain sufficient infrastructure and community focus to allow the Adoptium TLP to deliver the primary focus area.

Includes build, test, TCK compliance, installers, Docker images, download site, API support, marketing, IP processes, etc.

Maintain and promote the AQAvit verified Java SE binaries in the marketplace

Operate and promote the marketplace containing a wide range of binaries that pass the Java SE TCK and the AQAvit Quality Verification Suite criteria.

�

36

�

37 of 47

Secure Supply Chain and Software Engineering

Secure software development and supply chain management

Meet demands of the NIST SSDF framework across four themes:

Ensure our community, processes, and technology are designed for secure software development.
Protect all components of the process and software from tampering and unauthorized access.
Produce well-secured software with minimal security vulnerabilities throughout.
Respond appropriately to vulnerabilities and prevent similar vulnerabilities from occurring in the future.

Achieve SLSA v1.0 Level 3 accreditation of Adoptium’s supply chain level for primary platform software artifacts.

Binary identical build verification with complete Software Bill of Materials

Maintain Temurin build process to facilitate external build verification and audit through byte-level reproducible build processes.
Publish a comprehensive SBOM describing the deliverables, and the build environment used to create them.

Enhancements to compliance testing

Explore options such as automation of the manual tasks and broader community engagement to reduce the time to complete compliance testing, improving our time to market, and reducing developer workload.

�

37

�

38 of 47

Enable Additional Areas of Community Interest

As resources allow, we will also:

Additional platforms

Support development and delivery activities on secondary and “in-development” platforms, as defined by the Adoptium PMC.

Additional code streams

Support the build and test (but not JCK certify or release) other code streams beyond the core and secondary platforms.

Other code streams include, for example, Bisheng, Corretto, Dragonwell, OpenJ9, and SAPMachine plus early access code stream of OpenJDK projects.

Provide consumable build and test environments across a wide variety of platforms to support WG members’ developers in OpenJDK (Project Trestle).

Build around the AQAvit test suite, and support platforms not well served by existing OpenJDK automated testing.

�

38

�

39 of 47

Strategic Marketing Activities and Events

Maintain a long-term marketing plan for Adoptium

Build upon Adoptium’s success and reputation in the industry to further embed the Adoptium brand using our principles and objectives.
Target enterprise organizations, architects, and technical execs with a value statement for a free, open, and durable Java solution. Aim to grow adoption and membership and participation in the working group.

Build relationships with leading projects dependent upon Java runtimes

Engage with influential brands and projects to provide fit for purpose runtime solutions, including package content, delivery formats, and channels.

Promote AQAvit

Celebrate the vendors providing AQAvit-verified runtimes in the marketplace and ensure the ecosystem understands the value of that verification achievement.
Build the reputation of AQAvit as an open, trusted quality test suite and framework that vendors should look to verify their runtimes, and that end users and businesses should demand when selecting their Java runtime.

�

Strategic Marketing Activities and Events

Events

Drive awareness, promote adoption, and build community through sponsorship/participation at relevant conferences/events.

Convert product usage into support from enterprise users

Build a marketing story to convert Enterprise users into project supporters.

Adoptium Swag Store

Promote the brand and nurture community engagement by implementing and maintaining a SWAG store

�

40

�

41 of 47

Accelerate Innovation

Raise awareness of Adoptium Incubator

Promote further participation in incubator projects to enable exploration and evaluation of new technical areas.

Participate in programs for educating and advancing our community

Continue to sponsor and mentor student programs for new participants, students, and researchers.
Promote project opportunities to solve interesting and challenging problems in the scope of the project, including test analysis, secure software development and distribution, enhanced performance and modern workload optimisation.

Focus on faster delivery

Innovate in infrastructure, processes, and techniques for faster delivery of Temurin runtimes.
Continue to monitor and record key points in all Adoptium processes to determine opportunities.

�

41

�

42 of 47

Consider Stopping

Builds for platforms with minimal download count or customer interest

Adoptium builds 16+ platforms and collects direct download statistics for each. Platforms need to be individually evaluated for their effort-to-benefit ratio and considered for elimination.
The greatest cost to the project is the release work required. Releasing an individual platform across all four major Java versions represents about 4 days of engineering time every release. With 4-6 releases a year that is about 16-24 days that could be saved and used to implement fixes and enhancements that have long term benefit to the project.
AIX and zSeries were moved into non-primary platform status. These platforms have low download counts, and the technical projects struggle to resource them in machine and triage/release engineers.
Platforms that are not being actively maintained and kept up to date at OpenJDK will be removed from Temurin distribution.
