Would love to see this land.
Fully agree. The background context from that video is still as valuable as it was back then. Maybe remove the 'draft' flag? |
Hi @marcelstoer. Thanks for your comment! I really wanted to get an opinion from @insectengine first before getting this out of draft mode. |

pulling out of draft to get rendering. |

Emmanuel works at Red Hat as a senior distinguished engineer and he is the co-lead/co-founder of the Quarkus project. He is also a Java Champion. Curious to know where the name "Quarkus" comes from? Check out Emmanuel's presentation!</p> | |||

just to simplify the text - not sure about the placement hence why I bumped it out of draft.

@chrischiedo - thanks for the contribution! Will I think the video adds some good context as to the origin and intent of Quarkus, having it full width really dominates the page. I don't have rights to submit a change to your PR so I've added an alternative PR to address this. |
Draft PR to add a section about the inspiration/motivation behind the Quarkus project with a link to a presentation that was given by Emmanuel Bernard just after the release of Quarkus 1.0. I think that the presentation provides a great background context about the project that most people would highly appreciate.
@insectengine I'd be curious to know if you think this would be a valuable addition to the page (if not, I'll promptly close this PR).
If this change is accepted, it could be merged with the changes proposed in PR #1780.
