We had a spirited and detailed discussion so far. But nevertheless, I think we are none

analyses of the situation.
However, we lack concepts on how to proceed after removing java-maint-sig. What
consequences do we draw from the analyses?
Emmanuel Seyman has made some suggestions, about 16 posts back. Thoughts on those? I
posted on the java list some ideas some time ago ('Empowering Fedora Java’). Any
comments on those?
Like many Open Source projects, Fedora is a "do-ocracy" -- those who
step up to do the work win the responsibility of getting it done. If
you have a clear goal in mind, just go for it.
As I said before there's always a lot of discussion from people who,
in the end, never get involved. And then there are people who are
quietly working away and Getting Things Doneâ„¢ without the need for
endless discussion. A good example is Nicolas De Amicis who recently
stepped up to revive SWT because he really cares about openjfx in
Fedora and SWT was a dependency. And that is awesome; it is the
do-ocracy in action! Picking a goal you care about and setting about
achieving it doesn't require a SIG, it requires you to "do."
So, do you have any specific, concrete goal you want to achieve? If
the removal of a Java package has affected you directly or a Java
application you care about is in danger of being removed that would be
a excellent place to start.
