Hey @SlackHQ / @stewart - The JavaSpecialists workspace (led by @heinzkabutz) is an 11k people strong, active, and heavily used "non-non-profit" gathering place for Java peeps. Lots of cool stuff are now lost in the archives. Any way to get us bumped up to the standard plan? 🙏

When we have met in person @allmycode has treated me with some good ice cream. Meeting online is no exception, I suppose.
