Home | Adoptium Eclipse Adoptium provides prebuilt OpenJDK binaries ...

Are there any @nextjs.org experts out there who would be interested in helping migrate the adoptium.net site from Gatsby to Next.js. They’d need experience with i18n as well as mdx/asciidoc for content generation. @adoptium.net is an open source project and any help would be much appreciated!

It's 2025 and scammers are still trying to tell me that I've inherited millions of dollars from my late uncle in South Africa... Are people seriously still falling for this or have hackers lost their imagination?
