JavaOne trip & Marlin/FX support

J1 talk accepted, but I can not afford the travel costs on my own. I have to answer before 1st august if I accept or decline the speaker invitation: that's very short !

I develop and maintain the Marlin renderer project as a standalone FOSS contributor: that's my gift to the Commons.

Please share and contribute to this funding campaign to let me present my work at JavaOne 2017:
"Marlin, a JDK9 Success Story: Vector Graphics on Steroids for Java 2D and JavaFX [CON4052]"

Abstract: "The Marlin renderer is an open source pure-

Java Java 2D antialiasing renderer, forked from the OpenJDK’s Pisces renderer to provide a faster alternative with very good scalability to both Pisces and Ductus (closed source) renderers. In 2015 this session’s speaker discussed with the OpenJDK community how to contribute the Marlin renderer back. He worked hard with Jim Graham and Phil Race, and JEP 265 was submitted in July and integrated within OpenJDK 9 in December 2015. All that intensive work made Marlin even faster. In 2016 he created MarlinFX to replace the shape rasterizer in OpenJFX 9. In this session, you will learn how Marlin works, how to use it, and what performance optimizations were made and and will get the speaker’s feedback on contributing to OpenJDK."

Even if that funding campaign is already sucessful, you can still support my efforts on improving Marlin/MarlinFX even more...
