I agree with the earlier comment that it sounds interesting. I'd be more excited if there was a clear means for smaller companies to join the initiative. Is this intended as a commercial joint venture by ProcessOne and Quvik, or as an open alliance to advance and advocate Erlang (and Elixir)?
It is not a join venture between ProcessOne and Quviq, but a broader initiative. However, we need to ensure quality also, so we need a bit of check, but this is taking shape. We will have more to announce very soon it is getting fast :)
Sounds interesting, but given that it's founding members are only two companies, it sounds like it doesn't really represent the larger erlang community?
The 'About Us' page says "As of today, the following companies have joined Advanced Erlang Initiative" under the "Founding Companies" header - which suggests more are able to join. Would be better if it were more explicit though I guess.
I'm really looking forward to seeing it grow, I've already found the videos very useful and the workshops look like a great idea. The more companies supporting Elixir and Erlang the better :)
Please, see my other comment, to avoid lengthy repeat, but in short, yes, the goal of the initiative is to grow and yes to be open to other companies that are developing Erlang products at the core of their business.
