Entando CEO Paul Hinz has joined the JHipster Technology Advisory Board. This board supports the open source JHipster community by providing industry insight into the JHipster project in order that it continues to reflect and serve a diverse and growing user community. The Board discusses and makes recommendations regarding the strategy, roadmap, and technical directions.

“As an open source company, Entando is passionate about contributing to leading open source communities like JHipster and providing enterprise support for their use,” said Hinz. “That’s why we included JHipster into our platform and became a technical and financial sponsor of JHipster. My joining the JHipster Tech Advisory Board is an important part of my personal commitment to the open source community and our friends at JHipster.”

Entando is also a gold sponsor of JHipster, and JHipster serves as the foundation of the Entando Component Generator, which provides developers with advanced data modeling capabilities to automatically generate corresponding microservices and micro frontends.

“I’m thrilled to have Paul join us in the JHipster Tech Advisory Board. As the project grows, we’re looking to have more industry feedback, to better understand why people use JHipster, and what they need from the project,” said Julien Dubois, JHipster Creator and Project Lead. 

“As an Open Source community, we have a natural tendency to focus on our code and our current opened tickets, and we realized that we were lacking a long-term vision: what will our users need in the next 2 to 5 years? How can we solve the biggest challenges that they will encounter? Those are tough questions, which are vital to the future of the project, and we aim to solve them together in the tech advisory board.”
