JogAmp Project Funding: Reimagine Java on Desktop & Bare-Metal Devices

I may remind all parties, that I am desperately seeking funding
(on a contractual base, JogAmp today is too tiny for a BOD alike census AFAIK)
to continue to work on this project in a proper and healthy way forward.
So far - my limited outreach wasn't successful, see
- https://forum.jogamp.org/JogAmp-Management-Kick-Off-Meeting-td4042042.html

What might be of interest in this regard would be the following

Reimagine Java on Desktop & Bare-Metal Devices


The vision and reimagination is to
unite forces and bring back Java UI on bare-metal embedded devices, mobile and desktop.

In the lasts months and years, I have sadly seen companies revoking their commitment and trust
to Java in regards using it for Human Machine Interface (HMI) -> User Interface (UI).
This due to Oracle having essentially dropped the 'Java Desktop' ... etc. (long debate)

However, Java as a language with a fully managed memory model is still part of the
(politically) supported recommended languages from NIST. (long debate)

Well, at least this is what I am working on currently in my spare time ...

Initial blog re immersive UI + 3D scene with desktop
or a 'naked embedded system' w/o windowing system.

This is included in our feature / todo list
<https://jogamp.org/wiki/index.php?title=SW_Tracking_Report_Feature_Objectives_Overview#Graph_UI>

Here is a bug entry related to OpenJFX, i.e. potentially re-merging JOGL w/ OpenJFX
<https://jogamp.org/bugzilla//show_bug.cgi?id=607#c20>

Bottom line here is, it might help the whole Java community to reimagine and revision the UI across devices.

Perhaps we can join efforts and also allow this endeavor to help sustain work in this regard?
