(OCI). +We have assembled a Grails Community Steering Committee with the goal of +helping define the path forward for the Grails framework. One of the first +priorities of the group is to define the scope for a meaningful and valuable +Grails 7, which can be created and supported responsibly. Achieving that will +require contributions from a combination of passionate community members and +organizations who care about being involved in the future of the technology. + +Our experience has shown that increased transparency regarding challenges and +opportunities is crucial for the Framework's continued development. We're +committed to improving communication in this area. + +The Grails Steering Committee’s current focus is on three key goals: + +1. Defining an MVP (Minimum Viable Product) for Grails 7. +2. Outlining Community Contribution Opportunities: We'll clearly define how individuals and organizations can contribute to the MVP's development. +3. Highlighting Contribution Methods: We recognize that contributions come in various forms. Some organizations may prefer dedicating engineering resources, while others might choose to provide financial support for a core development team. + +Previously, these contribution avenues have existed but lacked clear +communication. We're committed to making them more visible and accessible. + +The work we are doing right now will enable our community to have a greater +impact on the future of the Grails framework. The feedback we get in the coming +weeks will be enlightening. We must understand what is important from the +community’s perspective, and for us to envision the possible paths to accomplish +desired outcomes. OCI is committed to stewarding the framework forward including +helping the technology and the community find a public place for the community to +rally around the technology. + +Creating and maintaining these free and open solutions is a significant commitment +and it will take a positively energized community to help us carry things forward. +Every single message we have received and every single conversation we have been +involved in in recent weeks has been helpful, appreciated, and respectful. This +community is remarkable and your input is sincerely appreciated. + +We will continue to communicate more information here in the coming weeks. Always +feel welcome to reach out to us at [info@grails.org](mailto:info@grails.org) if you have any questions, +concerns, or would like to engage in ways that you are currently not. Together +we are all defining the way forward and your help is appreciated. \ No newline at end of file
