First, the IGB is 5 people so it can get a "constitution" written; having a JCP-style political debate with multiple, orthogonally-oriented parties who don't actually like open source about every line isn't going to make that happen. Second, there will be every opportunity for the community to elect whichever individuals they want once the constitution is written, this is an interim board. Third, so far no corporations have expressed an interest in participating in OpenJDK despite being privately briefed by Sun prior to the launch. This is very sad in my opinion and I hope it will change. I believe McGovern confuses the role of the JCP and the role of OpenJDK. OpenJDK is an implementation and you "join" by engaging with the code & the community. OpenJDK Interim Board: I don't agree with McGovern for at least three reasons.
