hackthetower.co.uk (http://www.hackthetower.co.uk/) is a hack day for any and all developers to come and collaborate on projects or discover new technologies together and enhance their skills. Bring your laptop and your desire to try things out & have fun!

This month the special guest is the Java Jigsaw project

We are also co-hosting the Adopt Openjdk (https://java.net/projects/adoptopenjdk/pages/AdoptOpenJDK) hackday & a Clojure Webapps workshop

Come hack on the Java implementation that you use everyday!

* Improved OpenJDK (http://openjdk.java.net/) 9 test coverage
* OpenJDK Warnings cleanup
* Small Bugs Fixes
* The betterrev (https://bitbucket.org/adoptopenjdk/betterrev) project

If you're not familiar with the OpenJDK (http://openjdk.java.net/) codebase there will be people there to help you get started, including some from IBM who work on OpenJDK professionally.

Rough Schedule

You can get into the offices from around 9.45am onwards and have some breakfast and coffee, relax and take in the stunning view from the 26th & 27th floors of the Salesforce Tower (formerly known as the Heron Tower).

10.45am - Split into groups and get going
