Re: [libreoffice-users] Base slowness and Java update

Hi :)
I agree about taking them at their word and trying to help with fixing it but over the last year we 
have seen differences between their promises towards OpenSource and their actions.  

TDF is not the only OpenSource or semi-OpenSource project or organisation that has been forced to 
walk away from trying to deal with Oracle

That page mentions Oracle quite a lot!  However, they make a very clear commitment to open source 
and to welcoming outside involvement:

"If I don't work for Oracle, can I participate in OpenJDK?

Of course, we'd be happy to have you join! You can participate under the same conditions as other 
contributors. See http://openjdk.org/contribute for details."

So, let's take them at their word.

However, before we can ask them to sort out this slowness bug we need, it seems to me, to be able 
to tell them what the bug is.  Which is why I am trying to find out what it is about OpenJDK, which 
change, is causing the problem with base.
