The Erlang Ecosystem Foundation is a new non-profit organization dedicated to furthering the state of the art for Erlang, Elixir, LFE, and other technologies based on the BEAM. Our goal is to increase the adoption of this sophisticated platform among forward-thinking organizations. With member-supported Working Groups actively contributing to libraries, tools, and documentation used regularly by individuals and companies relying on the stability and versatility of the ecosystem, we actively invest in critical pieces of technical infrastructure to support our users in their efforts to build the next generation of advanced, reliable, realtime applications.
I especially love the focus on tools and language interoperability. My first experience with making benchee accessible to erlang users wasn’t too great. With new rebar3 improvements (as I understand them) I’d like to give that another shot.
Of course sharing success stories more getting more people onto the BEAM is
Really excited for the foundation! Quick question, is there a target number of members for each working group? Or at least a ballpark size? 10? 50? (if the size is too large then it will probably become difficult to get work done)
What about start conversations with someone at Rakuten Group? Some companies related to the group are active users of Elixir such as Cabify and Pinterest, and the LeoFS project is funded by the Rakuten Institute of Technology.
and perfect timing now we have an Erlang/BEAM forum here 
(given all the Erlang books he’s written! 
)
