[groovy-dev] [ANN] Groovy project intends to join the Apache Software Foundation

Hi all,


The Groovy team is happy to announce its intention to join the Apache
Software Foundation (ASF).

Following up the recent announcement from Pivotal to end funding of full
time developers for the Groovy programming language project, the team
thought it would be appropriate to demonstrate to the Groovy community that
the project is here for the long term, regardless of any funding from
particular sponsoring organizations and regardless of any changes to the
team of committers over time.

We had several discussions both online and offline with representatives of
various foundations, in particular with the Eclipse Foundation, the
Software Conservancy foundation and the ASF.

We’ve been very grateful for the time and advice given by everybody, our
users, committers to projects of those foundations, board members, etc.
Those discussions have been very fruitful and enlightening. Those
foundations are all very interesting and could be a great fit for the
project, even if all have their pros and cons, of course. But overall, the
Apache Software Foundation is the one that appears to be the best candidate
considering our constraints and our philosophy.

We will soon start the process of submitting a proposal for incubation. If
the proposal is accepted, the discussions we had on the mailing list
highlighted some grey areas that we are going to deal with during that
incubation process and we will be very happy to work with our mentors to
make sure Groovy remains a major OSS project in the JVM ecosystem.

With a full disclosure of me helping champion ASF as a home for Groovy,
I have to say this is fantastic news for me as a Groovy enthusiast AND and
ASF guy. I honestly think this could be a match made in heaven :-)

Like I said on a prior thread, it would be an honor for me to help you guys
create an Incubator proposal and serve as a Champion and/or one of the
Mentors for the project.

Thanks,
Roman.

This is pre-mature i know but am thinking how to revise the groovy
documentation. Do we have a meeting place/forum where we can develop a
strategy to manage groovy doc.s ?

I am thinking about things like the copyright license, author tags, URL
references mailing lists url's - anything within the doc.s - so it will all
hang together in the 'ASF' era.

thx

Congratulations! This announcement significantly helps to mitigate
uncertainty regarding Groovy from the perspective of enterprises that
absolutely must have stability, including perceived stability, in
software tools in order to get behind or remain behind them. I know
this has been a very difficult time and I'm impressed by the agile
response that I've seen! I sincerely hope that funding can be obtained
so that the principal contributors can continue to spend every waking
moment thinking about Groovy! :-)

All the best,
