Celebrating 5 Years of Foojay! (#70)

On April 25, 2020, Geertjan Wielenga published the first Foojay post. Yes, we are celebrating 5 years since the Friends Of OpenJDK website launch! Today, more than 1,600 posts are on the site, written by over 250 authors. And there is much more to discover within the Foojay world...In this podcast, we look at how Foojay started with founder Geertjan Wielenga. We'll also hear from Gerrit Grunwald about how Foojay's Disco API has become part of your daily work without you realizing it. We also have several of our regular authors and podcast guests who share how Foojay has influenced them (and vice versa).Thank you all for being part of the Foojay community, whether as a listener of this podcast, a visitor to the website, a user of the Disco API, or through any other touchpoint!00:00 Introduction00:58 Grace Jansen   https://foojay.io/today/author/grace-jansen 02:44 Geertjan Wielenga about the start and evolution of Foojay   https://foojay.io/today/author/geertjan-wielenga/     Foojay on Mastodon:       https://foojay.io/today/foojay-mastodon-service-here-it-is/    Java Quick Start Course on Foojay:       https://foojay.io/java-quick-start/    JDoodle on Foojay:       https://foojay.io/today/integrate-executable-java-code-in-your-blog-posts-part-2-how-to-use-dependencies/    Foojay Slack:      https://foojay.io/today/join-slack-com-t-foojay-signup/    Contribute to Foojay:       https://foojay.io/today/how-to-submit-your-next-article-on-foojay-io/ 12:24 Richard Fichtner   https://foojay.io/today/author/r-fichtner      Free JCon tickets:       https://pretix.eu/impuls/europe2025/redeem?voucher=FOOJAY-COMMUNITY 13:19 Mary Grygleski   https://foojay.io/today/author/mgrygles 15:01 Shai Almog   https://foojay.io/today/author/shai-almog 16:59 Gerrit Grunwald about the Disco API   https://foojay.io/today/author/gerrit-grunwald/    Disco API Blog:       https://foojay.io/today/disco-api-helping-you-to-find-any-openjdk-distribution/    Disco API Swagger UI:       https://api.foojay.io/swagger-ui 24:38 Simon Ritter   https://foojay.io/today/author/simonritter 25:10 Marit van Dijk   https://foojay.io/today/author/marit-van-dijk 25:47 Hanno Embregts   https://foojay.io/today/author/hanno-embregts 26:42 Bazlur Rahman   https://foojay.io/today/author/bazlur-rahman 29:10 Artur Skowroński   JVM weekly:       https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/jvm-weekly-7097859802881540096 30:22 Conclusion and looking forward to 30 years of Java with James Gosling
