Friends of Grails on OpenCollective

[James Fredley]

A few individuals and organizations have expressed interest in financially supporting Grails development, which might not otherwise be able to contribute time or code.  With the recent changes and to this end, after discussions within the community steering committee, the Friends of Grails has been setup on OpenCollective:  https://opencollective.com/friends-of-grails.  This mirrors what was done with the Friends of Groovy collective.

Funds contributed through Friends of Grails will be allocated to continuing the development of Grails, with the current focus on Grails 7.  The Friends of Grails Admin Team will approve tasks and project expenses, based on available funds.  Everything is publicly visible on the OpenCollective site.

The community steering committee is working on a proposal to submit Grails to the Apache Software Foundation.  Before, during and after that process, the Friends of Grails on OpenCollective will support a portion of the ongoing development of the framework.   The majority of development is expected to come from organizations and individuals directly contributing time and code to the project and the process through Friends of Grails will contribute to this collectively.
