Jikes was one of the first (if not the first) projects to be open sourced by IBM. There was no developerWorks, let alone the Open Source Software zone that now provides our support systems; all that had to be invented, the hard way. This next group of individuals were pulled together by Dave Shields as the Jikes Core Team with an eye towards operating much the same as the Apache Core Team; their mandate was as follows:
The "core team" has evolved into a very low-overhead administrative structure, whose principal function is to approve the nomination of new project leaders.
This is not to say that the contributions made by this team are irrelevant, quite the contrary in fact, they are crucial. The "core team" has now been renamed the Steering Committee, so without further ado, the members of the committee in addition to Dave, Philippe, and Vadim are:
