HackTheTower & Adopt Openjdk - March 2015 hack day

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!

Note: Registration for this event closes the Monday before the date of the event, so we have time to add your names to the visitor list :(

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

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.
