Basically, I was laid off at WindRiver yesterday and it's unclear what's going to happen to me in relation to this project. Yes, "laid off". Make no mistakes in understand that this is for *real* and you're not dreaming. ;-) They've been refocusing their efforts away from the desktop environment and towards their traditional market of embedded systems in light of the rather harsh economic times. They've got a competing JVM group that's doing MicroJava stuff (1.1.8) and I believe they're going to focus on that instead of the client/server stuff we're interested in... I basically need to find another job some where (Linux World Expo ?) and make sure that I'm taken care of financially. As far as the project goes, I haven't decided what my involvment with the FreeBSD port will be until I get a feel of what's happening in the market and if folks are willing to immediately hire me or not. If that's the case, then it's likely I won't be working on the FreeBSD JVM port for now, otherwise I'll be trying to get native threading working in between jobs. I'm not sure which is better, money or getting the port fully working. Hehehe ;-) Oh well. bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
