It has been a month since Bevy's fifth birthday. We asked the community to reflect on the past year and outline their hopes and dreams for the next year.

You can read the community's reflections on Bevy's fifth year here:

We're excited to announce our new Merch store: https://merch.bevy.org/. You can now show your support for Bevy in style!

Note that we've kept the margins low to make the pricing as accessible as possible: buying each product results in a donation of about ~$3 to the Bevy Foundation. Purchases do help us, but don't buy hundreds of shirts if your goal is to donate money to the Bevy Foundation. We see Bevy Merch largely as a community building tool, not a profit engine.

@bevy Is there some official badge/shield that I can add to my open source project that says "Powered by Bevy" or something similar? Ideally with the bevy logo?

Something that would fit in here:

@outfly closest we have right now are "bevy version tracking" badges. Aesthetically probably not what you're looking for.

It is with great excitement that we announce the Bevy Foundation: a non-profit that exists to develop and educate people about its usage!

Know that the Bevy Foundation exists for YOU and we wouldn't be where we are today without your support!

@Rin3d nope there is nothing we could do to change the license of the code that is already written. Because we don't do CLAs, re-licensing Bevy's code would require sign-off from every Bevy contributor. Given that contributors would not sign off on shady re-licenses, this is not a risk.
