Groovy Champions proposal feedback

2018-02-13 Thread Paul King
Hi everyone, A few of us have had various discussions (in fact over many years) about having a recognition scheme similar to Java Champions, perhaps called "Groovy Champions" or "Apache Groovy Champions" or something else entirely if we think of a better name. I think the idea has always been to

I’m all for honoring contributions to the language/ecosystem/community. Given our logo, „Groovy Star“ comes to mind :-) Cheers Dierk sent from:mobile > Am 13.02.2018 um 12:29 schrieb Paolo Di Tommaso : > > It sound a nice idea also to promote the visibility of the groovy community. > > > p

I don't mind "Groovy Stars" as a name! Of course it begs the question "Star trek" or "Star Wars" - the long journey of programming language design vs the language wars! :-) On Tue, Feb 13, 2018 at 9:46 PM, Dierk König wrote: > I’m all for honoring contributions to the language/ecosystem/communi

+1 on the name! I think it's cool to differentiate the Groovy award from other awards like Java Rock-stars and Java Champions, Grails Rock-stars, and more! On Tue, 13 Feb 2018 at 14:09 Guillaume Laforge wrote: > It's funny, I think we didn't think about "stars" in our previous > conversations,

-1 on "Groovy Stars" / +1 on the overall concept. Stars makes me think of (Super) Mario, and apart from that it is sounds so over the top. I don't think many people outside of the Groovy community know the logo so well, that they realize it has an (irregular) star in the background (I myself a
