Contributing Members
The bylaws of the Grails Foundation provide that Object Computing will maintain, in perpetuity, a majority interest in the Foundation to serve as a steward of the Grails framework and its global open source community. Object Computing has committed an initial contribution of $200,000.00 to fund open source product development and evangelism for the Framework.
“For over a decade, the Grails framework has been a leader among JVM web application frameworks. The innovations in the Grails framework and the longevity of its success have been possible only because of the vibrant and active community around the technology over the years. The Grails Foundation is being launched in part to acknowledge the role that the community has played all along, and to create a forum to continue growing the enthusiasm of the community. A core tenet of the Object Computing team has always been All Of Us Are Better Than Any One Of Us, and the Grails Foundation will facilitate the continued embracing of the value in that truth,” said Jeff Scott Brown, Grails Foundation co-founder.
The Grails Foundation Technology Advisory Board
The Grails Foundation is supported by a Technology Advisory Board that ensures the Framework continues to reflect and serve its diverse and growing user community. The Board meets quarterly to discuss and make recommendations regarding the Grails framework's roadmap and technical direction.
