Brian Harry

[Stefan Ram]

If anyone is searching for some leisure activity, here's an idea:

»Iowa developer Brian Harry, also known as "leouser" on
java.net, is renowned for the bug fixes he contributed to
Java SE 6, which number well into the hundreds and won him
a Duke's Choice award for outstanding platform
contributions in 2006. His method was simple: He scanned
Sun's openly available bug database for intriguing bugs,
primarily in the Swing user interface (UI) code, printed
them out, and put the bug reports on a stack beside his
computer. Then, he fixed them one by one, submitting them
through the standard JDK Community contribution process.«

Sounds impressive. Good for him. Wonder where he gets that kind of free
time.
