Hey everyone,

Since @michaelbromley and I took over maintenance last November, we've shipped 7 patch releases, fixed hundreds of issues, and brought TypeORM back to active development. Thanks to all the incredible people who have helped the last year! With v1.0.0 on the horizon, it's time to establish a sustainable foundation for the project's future.

We're founding the official TypeORM Association.

What This Means

• Clear governance: Defined structure with a board and committed maintainers
• Sustainable maintenance: Compensated team (6-8 people, 2-4h/week) so TypeORM isn't a side project
• Financial transparency: Open accounting for sponsorships and payments
• Stable releases: Prioritizing reliability over rapid feature development
• Strategic partnerships: Collaborations with database companies and frameworks

How to Get Involved

• Feedback: We want to hear from you. What are we missing? What concerns do you have? Reply in this thread.
  Maintenance Team: Interested in joining the official maintenance team? Email your application to [email protected]
• Sponsorships: Work at a database company or organization interested in sponsoring TypeORM? Reach out to [email protected]

This is about building TypeORM's next chapter—sustainably, transparently, and with the community's input. Let us know what you think.
