Lightbend, formerly Typesafe, announces the create of the Scala Center. You can read about it here, and there is also this video by Martin Odersky:
Some important text from the link: “The new Scala Center, with support from its founding members and advisory board, will fund and sponsor initiatives that develop and maintain open source Scala libraries, create documentation and learning materials and develop various tools and services that benefit the Scala community as a whole. Scala Center is also offering four massive open online courses (MOOC) on Scala this year.”
