I've been discussing with Tom Marble the feasibility of putting Clojars under the umbrella of the Software Freedom Conservancy, since it has an OSS codebase (which is a requirement for the SFC, and something that is lacking from the CCO proposal, since moving Clojure itself under the SFC isn't an o

This initiative seems overdue by a couple years. I would like to offer some non-trivial portion of my time. Is there anywhere people could donate to ensure this becomes a valuable and positive community reality? On Thu, Dec 10, 2015 at 4:38 PM Alex Miller wrote: > I don't think we have any offic

I don't think we have any official position on it, but I can respond to various items that have been mentioned above in the thread: 1) Google Summer of Code - we (Cognitect) are again acting as a receiver of stipends and distributor of travel funds this year but would happily let another org do

This is a great initiative. Would love to see an "official" community organisation. Some things I think are particularly important on the content side: a) Maintain and improve the clojure.org website as the "front page" for the community b) Produce "official" user guides and documentation for Cl

Re gsoc, last year Cognitect was a receiving organization for the funds and distributed them to students for travel to Clojure conferences. This incurs some cost on Cognitect for the accounting effort but overall seemed worth it. We also offer free tickets to all gsoc students for any Clojure co

I did ask Peter Norvig to show support for Clojure with simple programs like he did with his Python spellchecker. He could even use Clojure for a new edition of AIMA. But I am not sure he is going to do that. On Sun, May 3, 2015 at 7:29 PM, Tom Marble wrote: > @deepbluelambda: > > Thank you for

I'd really like to see some sort of indexed infrastructure for documenting and standardising common patterns and anti-patterns on various levels – think Stack Exchange, but preemptive. I think this would go a long way toward helping newcomers and spreading good practices. On 30 April 2015 at 23:31

This is a awesome idea! In my opinion, this organization would attract the maximum number of people if its mission is centred on Knowledge Management: 1. Wiki-based Clojure documentation, such as clojuredocs.org, containing the "official" documentation, but constantly improved by the commun
