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!
