[microprofile-wg] Funding MicroProfile Tutorial with 2023 Budget

[Reza Rahman <reza_rahman@xxxxxxxxx>]

Folks,

Some of you may already be aware that we need to spend the remaining 
$10-11K 2023 budget soon. We have discussed this matter in depth in the 
past. The highest priority item identified is funding an official 
tutorial similar to the revamped official Jakarta EE Tutorial. This has 
been a long standing gap that probably hurts adoption. It could start 
with a pretty modest 15-25 page tutorial.

The tentative agreement amongst Microsoft, Oracle, Payara and Red Hat is 
to directly fund the tutorial with the remaining budget through an open 
bidding process run by the Eclipse Foundation. To make this happen in a 
timely fashion, we need to get rolling soon. While $10K probably does 
not seem much to some of us, in reality it can go a really long way if 
spent in LATAM, AMEA or APAC regions. I bet we could be in a pretty 
decent, sustainable place sooner than we think. I bet some of you may 
even have suitable bidders in mind.

Can you please share your thoughts? Since this is a budget matter, we 
need to put this to vote soon.

Thanks,
Reza
