GrooVIP I like, it's in the tradition of GString... :-) "The Apache Groovy project announced its 2018 GrooVIPs" works for me. mg

I agree with Guillaume: MVP sounds "Minimal Viable Product" in my head :)
Anoter option: VIP ;)

Although there seems to be a lot of disagreement about the name, everyone seems
to be in favor of the idea. What is the next step, Paul?

You're all missing the obvious "Groovy GR8" :-)

My own
few cents, too:
Groovy Star, Groovy Champion, Groovy MVP all have their
pros and cons. I would suggest something along the lines
of Groovy Exceptional Community Member (Groovy ECM) or
Groovy Distinguished Community Member (Groovy DCM). New
acronym, professional enough, focusing on the overall
community and not only the language per se.

I have never heard "MVP" =
"Minimum Viable Product", so I doubt this would pose
a problem. Also do you suggest that people would
actually read "Groovy has announced its Minimum
Viable Products of 2018" ?
STAR has 129 meanings as an acronym, btw, according
to https://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/STAR

Following the sports analogy, what about
"Groovy MVPs"
?
Any game can have Most Valuable Players
(even if only one is typically crowned in
the US), and I think "Groovy announced its
2018 MVPs" has a nice ring to it.

I disagree with MG.
A star is an object that shines,
and in this case shines light on the
Groovy language and ecosystem. Hence
I think the name is both
professional, and since it can be
directly linked to the star in the
Groovy logo I think it makes perfect
sense. In sports you also have star
players and in music (and Java) you
have rock stars. That you can find
examples that relates to games on
Nintendo does not make a valid point
IMO. The "All Stars" just makes it
so much better - as that's what
Paul, Jochen and others are .
My few cents worth.

"Get a life" ;-)
But seriously, all the people
one-upping "Groovy Stars" -
consider whether that name
really sends the right
professional message with
regards to Groovy ? I am
convinced it does not.
Managers who might decide
whether Groovy can be used in
a project are typically
conservative and sensitive to
those things, and they do not
normally follow nerd humor...
(next suggestion I see coming
along the Stars-crossed-line,
is to call Paul and Jochen
"Groovy All Stars")
As another example, it looks
like "Pokemon Stars" on the
Nintendo Switch might become a
reality:

Hi
Paul,
“Groovy
Champions” make people
associate it with
"Java Champions"
easily. As for "Groovy
Stars", it is
interesting but let me
associate "Song
Stars" and "Kungfu
Stars" easily... I
wish other people
would not associate
as I do...
Similarly, many
years ago some one
suggested to name
current "Grape"
as "Groovy Baby", the
latter is interesting
but not formal...
To sum up, +1 to
“Groovy Champions”.
Cheers,
Daniel.Sun
