📣 April 2025 GraphQL Foundation Board Meeting Recap

The GraphQL Foundation Governing Board met April 17 to discuss ongoing community efforts, technical progress, and upcoming events—read on for the highlights:

🖥️ Website Redesign Underway

The first version of the new GraphQL.org design is live for community feedback on GitHub! Championed by The Guild, the new site focuses on communicating GraphQL’s value to different types of users. Check it out on GitHub and Figma—your feedback is welcome.

🌍 Planning GraphQL All-Hands

We had fabulous input and a great turn out for our first public board meeting, which was held at GraphQLConf 2024. We’re building on that idea with a plan to host twice-a-year GraphQL All-Hands sessions. These gatherings will celebrate progress, share strategic updates, and foster open discussion. The next one will take place at GraphQLConf 2025 this fall!

📊 Community Survey Discussion

Several Board and community members are exploring a user survey to help shape technical priorities, improve documentation, and inform event content. The Board discussed options to help the effort start small and release iteratively—stay tuned!

💸 Budget & Membership

We’re exploring aligning our fiscal planning with GraphQLConf to better match our annual rhythm. We also celebrated progress on new community grants! 🎉

🎤 GraphQLConf 2025

We’re expanding community involvement in the CFP process by becoming a Subject Matter Expert—we’re looking for volunteers to help rank talks for the conference program. Also, we’re proud to support an ALS charity swim team happening before the conference. The CFP closed May 12.
