The Apache Way
The great thing about giving an Apache Way talk - this year online with ApacheCon @Home - is that there are always great new ideas from the community to add.
Abstract
The Apache Way is useful for organizations and individuals to be more effective at working in distributed communities. Open source software does not necessarily mean open development - and true community-led open development is where the fun starts in working in FOSS!
There are a lot more aspects to consider and areas to invest in as you move forward through the open source journey. These are just the starting points to work on.
A key reminder: open source works best when you’re working with softare that you actually use. Taking the time to choose which teams or projects that you open up or participate is well worth the investment to keep your team’s efforts focused.
The behaviors you can use to succeed at Apache.
