Advisory Board

«With Foojay, we finally have what so many of us in the OpenJDK ecosystem have wanted and needed for a very long time: a community-driven vendor neutral portal for all things OpenJDK, from Java to Kotlin and beyond.

Foojay is your OpenJDK dashboard where you go to every day for the latest and greatest information on the OpenJDK, with tips, tricks, and insights into every area of OpenJDK usage, a place of learning for newbies to the OpenJDK world and a place where snippets of curated code content is provided to the benefit of everyone.»

«Foojay is an indispensable resource for our Java teams. We see it as an independent source of truth for all things OpenJDK and Java broadly. This is why we are excited to contribute and bring the security perspective to the table.»

«Foojay is a great initiative to provide a focal point for all things OpenJDK!»

«Java powers some of the largest, most important infrastructure on Internet. At DataStax, we not only try to enable Java developers who are building the future, we are heavy users ourselves as we contribute our efforts to Apache Cassandra™.

Having a single resource for everything OpenJDK is much needed and we’re very happy to support this effort. Our large and diverse community needs a gathering place and resources for experienced and new users alike. This is going to let us do less searching for information and more coding!»

«The IT landscape is growing at a fast pace. The Java language and the Java platform are very applicable to a large number of areas inside this landscape, ranging from server and Cloud systems over desktop to mobile and embedded devices.

It is exciting to see that Foojay covers very different parts of the Java ecosystem and thereby spreads the message that the work done in the larger OpenJDK community is very relevant to many developers, working on server or client technologies, or on both.»

«At Hazelcast, we firmly believe that Open Source is critical for driving community led innovation. Built on Java, this community has been our top ecosystem since founding, and we are very excited to be working to support and grow this key forum for OpenJDK and Java.

Foojay has become an invaluable resource for developers to keep abreast of the latest with Java and OpenJDK. I learn something every time I visit the site.»

«The 'J' in JFrog stands for Java with a 12+ year history of embracing open source, Java user groups, Java events and the developer community.

Foojay is an example of the strength of the Java community that is greater than any single company and is composed of active, passionate, and caring individuals who want to share their expertise and help mentor the next generation of developers.

With the support of JFrog, I am proud to be a member of this community and to continue to grow the knowledge and love of the Java programming language and powerful ecosystem that has evolved around it.»

«Foojay's mission speaks to us deeply. The Lightrun backend runs on OpenJDK. The first platform Lightrun supported was the JVM. An open and thriving ecosystem enables the type of innovation at our core!

We're thrilled to join the Foojay Board and hope to use this position to help foster a more open/collaborative environment for Java developers everywhere. We strongly believe that OpenJDK should power cloud native initiatives in the foreseeable future.»

«We work with the latest open source Java technologies and love to share what we have learned. This way we help each other to stay on top of the latest trends in the Java landscape. We are therefore heavily involved in the international Java community and speak about a range of technical subjects at international conferences & meetups.

Foojay is quickly becoming one of the foremost global communities for Java developers. It aligns perfectly with our ambition to help each other grow. We are super excited we can also contribute to this great movement from the Foojay Board.»

«We like the idea of companies coming together to champion and improve Java and its related technologies. That’s why we’re key contributors to Jakarta EE as Solutions Members of the Eclipse Foundation. We believe vendor-neutral, coordinated collaboration allows us to go much further together and accomplish more than we can on our own.

We also care about driving innovation in Open Source at a community level: the Payara Platform Community Edition allows developers to experiment with the latest and greatest technologies faster and create innovative, world-class solutions; while the Payara Enterprise Edition ensures stable, supported, and secure software for mission critical operational environments.

Foojay, as a community-focused, vendor-neutral knowledge sharing platform, aligns perfectly with our ethos. Joining the advisory board was a natural and exciting decision.

The Payara team will be contributing our expertise to Foojay, particularly around Jakarta EE, Cloud Native Java, and Microservices, as well as using it ourselves to learn and build more opportunities for growth.»

«It’s incredibly important for every ecosystem to have a core location for information to help grow the community and be an educational resource for all developers to use. Java has lacked this core space for many years and I’m really excited to see Foojay’s goals and direction.

I believe Foojay has the potential to be the central resource for all Java developers. It’s a pleasure to be involved in the project both personally and with the support of Snyk to help make Java developers' applications more secure.»

«Java is at the core of everything we do at Vaadin. Since 2001, we've been building tools that help developers and companies using Java build great web applications.

We are happy to announce that Vaadin has joined the Foojay Advisory Board to help promote a thriving Java ecosystem.

As a member of the Foojay Advisory Board, Vaadin is involved in helping shape the roadmap and direction of the Foojay community.

We hope to contribute insights on web UIs and UX to the discussion.»
