Paving the way for a more diverse open source landscape: the First OSS Contributor Summit in Mexico

Mon, 02 Dec 2019 00:00:00 +0000

“I was able to make my first contribution yesterday, and today it was merged. I’m so excited about my first steps in open source", a participant said about the First Summit for Open Source Contributors, which took place this September in Guadalajara, México. How do you involve others in open source? How can we make this space more inclusive for groups with low representation in the field?

With these questions in mind and the call to contribute to software that is powering the world’s favorite products, the Apache Software Foundation, along with the CNCF, sponsored the First Summit for Open Source Contributors in Mexico. Google, Software Guru magazine, Wizeline Academy, OSOM (a consortium to engage more Mexican developers in open source), IBM, Intel, Salesforce and Indeed were some of the companies that organized the conference. The event consisted of 2 days of training and presentations on a selection of open source projects, including Apache Beam, Gnome, Node JS , Apache Cassandra, Kubernetes , Firefox, Drupal , Apache Flink and others. Sam Ruby, president of the ASF, participated in a panel discussion with Chris Aniszczyk, CTO at the CNCF, and also presented a session on the Apache Way. ASF board member, Myrle Krantz, presented a session about a project’s lifecycle at Apache. Through sessions like these, accompanied by 19 workshops focused on specific projects, participants were able to learn about the state of open source in Latin America, and also get dedicated coaching and hands-on practice to become active contributors in OSS. While unpaid, these collaborations represent the most popular way of learning to code and building a portfolio for young professionals, or people looking to do a career shift towards tech.

New Apache mailing-list for inter-project communication with a focus on IoT related topics

Mon, 08 Jul 2019 00:00:00 +0000

There’s a lot of magic happening in the IoT sector at the moment. A lot of new projects are appearing and older projects are growing and extending their functionality. We have noticed that it’s currently quite difficult to keep track who the players in this field are and what they’re up to. So we decided to create a new mailing-list to help improve the communication:

iot@apache.org (Archive at: https://lists.apache.org/list.html?iot@apache.org)

We hope this communication-channel will help reduce unnecessary double-work and improve streamlining the projects to work together as good a possible. So if you’re involved in projects in the IoT sector, if you want to be involved and haven’t found the right project to contribute yet, or if you just want to know what’s up, it would be great to see you on this list (Subscribe by sending an email to: iot-subscribe@apache.org)

An approach to community building from Apache Beam

Fri, 22 Feb 2019 00:00:00 +0000

Apache Beam has been a top-level project since January 2017. I, current Beam PMC Chair, would like to share some of Beam’s recent efforts to tackle the challenges of growing our community.

[Updated Feb 27, 2019 to clarify that the article is authored by the Beam PMC Chair and describes the Beam project’s work to build their own community. Previously it could have mistakenly been read as an ASF Foundation statement about the Beam project, or as describing an ASF action taken upon the Beam project. Neither is the the case.]

Throughout May we promoted that we had been invited to have an Apache booth at the Open Expo in Madrid. The event took place on 1st June 2017 and was the first time that we had an Apache presence there. We received an invitation to the event because of a contact made at FOSDEM (so you can see how being at one event can lead to another!)

My First Experience Of ApacheCon by Stephen Downie

Thu, 25 May 2017 00:00:00 +0000

Let me start with a small introduction of myself. My name is Stephen Downie and I have been working in the world of IT for only 2 months. Tom Barber, an ASF member and committer, recently got in touch and offered me the opportunity to retrain. I have previously worked for the last 20 years in retail and if I’m being honest hated 90% of my time at work, so I thought why not. I knew Tom was very knowledgeable and I had always been very envious of his Facebook posts, it seemed like every week he was working on a new project in different countries all over the world from India to Europe to the US. As part of the offer he said he would like to take me to Miami to a conference called ApacheCon….How could I say no? I had never heard of ApacheCon prior to this and in my naivety assumed it was something to do with helicopters (like I said I have zero experience in IT). The weeks passed and Tom was sending more and more documentation through, the thoughts that I was massively out of my depth started growing.

Community Development News - April 2017

Community Development News - November 2016

Thu, 08 Dec 2016 00:00:00 +0000

Welcome to the first in a series of monthly blog updates about what is happening in Apache Community Development. This month we have news about our Committer Diversity Survey, FOSDEM 2017, ApacheCon NA 2017 and our PMC grows.

Apache Committers Diversity Survey ¶

Over the last month we have been discussing diversity within the ASF and this month we sent out our first ever Apache Software Foundation Committer Diversity Survey. The committer group was selected because they are a large group that are linked to every Apache project. (NOTE: The ASF currently has 5861 committers across 295 projects). To ensure the confidentiality and privacy of the respondents, the survey is anonymous and completely voluntary.

The Apache Community Development Team Prepares to Send Out its First Diversity Survey

Wed, 23 Nov 2016 00:00:00 +0000

Over the next few weeks the Apache Community Development team will be sending out and running its first ever Apache Software Foundation Committer Diversity Survey. The committer group was selected because they are a significant number of people that are linked to every Apache project. (NOTE: The ASF currently has 5861 committers across 295 projects.)

Although there are many aspects to diversity including socio-economic, disability and education etc which may be addressed in future surveys, this initial survey will focus on the three broad areas of age, gender and ethnicity. It will also try to capture information about why people contribute to Apache projects. To ensure the confidentiality and privacy of the respondents, the survey will be anonymous and completely voluntary.

The Apache Software Foundation Participating in Google Summer of Code 2012 as a Mentoring Organization

Wed, 21 Mar 2012 00:00:00 +0000

The Apache Software Foundation will be participating in the Google Summer of Code again this year as a mentoring organization.

Google Summer of Code is a program where students work on open source projects backed by a stipend granted by Google. The Apache Software Foundation has been participating in the program since its inception in 2005.

Each year, 30-40 students are guided by volunteer mentors from various Apache communities. During the summer they learn what it means to participate in a diverse open source community and develop open source software “The Apache Way”. Many of past students are now active contributors to our projects.

Who should use Apache Extras?

Mon, 20 Dec 2010 00:00:00 +0000

This is historical content, not relevant anymore but kept here as an archive.

Who should host their projects on Apache Extras?

Apache Extras is aimed primarily those who are unable or unwilling to licence their code under the Apache License V2, but want to signal their relationship to one or more Apache project community.

One example of this is my own Drupal connector for Apache Wookie (Incubating). This needs to be GPL licensed due to the Drupal dependency, but it contains Apache Licensed code as well. Consequently it cannot be hosted at Drupal, nor can it be hosted at the ASF. Now, with Apache Extras, it has a home that is associated with at least one of those organisations.

Why Apache Extras?

Wed, 15 Dec 2010 00:00:00 +0000

This is historical content, not relevant anymore but kept here as an archive.

All Apache projects use the same pragmatic software license, the Apache License v2. However, we recognise that there are other FOSS licences out there, some of which are incompatible with the Apache License v2.

Code under these licenses cannot be hosted on Apache servers, but people sometimes choose to, or are required to, use them.

Until the launch of apache-extras these projects had no a single home to go to. They were spread across all of the various hosting platforms. This made it difficult for communities to cluster around related technologies. For us this was a problem since we believe strong collaborative communities are the key to successful open source software.

How Apache Projects Use Consensus

Tue, 21 Sep 2010 00:00:00 +0000

The Apache Software Foundation exists to provide legal and technological infrastructure for open source projects. By and large, the Foundation leaves the individual project communities to make their own choices about their development process. There are some constraints that result from the fundamental legal umbrella held by the Foundation. For the Foundation to protect contributors, projects must respect the rules regarding IP management and releases. A more interesting set of constraints, however, stems from the Foundation’s commitment to Open Source software development as a communal process. Apache projects are communities, and some of the few pan-Foundation norms exist to ensure transparent, fair, collegial, decision-making processes.

What makes Apache projects different?

Thu, 03 Jun 2010 00:00:00 +0000

Sharing a code repository with some other programmers might seem enough to create an open source project; the Apache Software Foundation goes further and focuses on making projects sustainable in the long term, and ensuring that our code is legally clean.

This means that our projects have to follow a (small) number of rules, and a number of best practices have been established over the years.

Here’s a quick description of how Apache projects are born and live on - some of the items below are derived from the ASF’s bylaws (http://www.apache.org/foundation/bylaws.html), while others are best practices that evolved over time.

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Community Building at the ASF ¶

This directory will contain practical advice to ASF projects about how to encourage and foster the growth of their project communities. This will include a variety of topics:

What ¶

What is an Apache community
Who are the persona that comprise an Apache community
How does an Apache community differ from other open source communities? How is it the same?

Why ¶

Why community matters to a project. (Discussion of “Community Over Code”)
Why various groups (individuals, companies, other projects) should be involved in the project community. (Sustainability, influence, trust)
In particular, how and why companies should get engaged in projects that they rely on

How ¶

The bulk of the content will focus on the HOW. Practical advice to grow and retain the various parts of a project community. This includes, but is not limited to:

A Maturity Model for Apache Projects

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The Apache Project Maturity Model provides a suggested framework for evaluating the overall maturity of an Apache project community and the codebase that it maintains. While this model is specific to projects of the Apache Software Foundation (ASF), many of these factors apply to any open source project.

Overview ¶

The goals of this maturity model are to describe how Apache projects operate in a concise and high-level way, and to provide a basic framework that projects may choose to use to evaluate themselves.

Adding Committers

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Identifying potential new committers, calling a vote for their recognition as a committer and processing the relevant documents are tasks to which the whole community can contribute.

Each project has a different approach to managing new committers. This page describes a common process found in many Apache projects. It also provides draft templates for the various communications that are necessary.

Some of the PMCs automatically make committers PMC members. The templates below have conditional [if] clauses for that.

Adding PMC members

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

This document describes a typical Apache project’s process for handling the vote to add a new PMC (Project Management Committee) member - when it is separate from becoming committer.

Templates mentioned in the process appear [#NewPMCMember-EmailTemplates](later in this document). If your PMC adds automatically committers as PMC members, the process for doing both at the same time is described in the New committer advice.

The Contributor Ladder helps explain different roles.

An overview of board responsibilities

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

What to Expect When You’re Expecting to be a Director ¶

What’s involved in being a director at the ASF? This document tries to give an overview of the time commitment involved, and what the work looks like.

The official duties of the Board are defined on the Apache Governance website. You should read that doc, and those to which it links, first.

This document tries to give a little more flavor, for the benefit of someone who’s considering running for their first term as a Director.

Apache Newcomer FAQs

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

These answers to frequently asked questions may help newcomers to The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) and our many Apache projects understand how we work.

Index of Questions

We are always looking for better ways to help newcomers to the ASF find the information they’re looking for. Please ask questions or give us suggestions on dev@community.apache.org (subscribe by sending an email to dev-subscribe@community.apache.org first).

Apache-related slides, videos and presentations

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

This page contains links to presentations and other key papers about the ASF and how Apache projects work that you may find useful. Many of these have been presented at ApacheCon conferences or other open source conferences.

These presentations are available under permissive licenses; please see each individual presentation for license details.

Many Apache speakers post their slides to the SlideShare website, and the FeatherCast podcast offers audio recordings of many talks and interviews.

April 2017 Community Newsletter

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Dear Apache Committer,

In this newsletter: committer resources you might not know about, Foundation news, and upcoming community events.

Thank you for your hard work on our Apache projects. You are the reason the Foundation exists, and your work is the reason we have the reputation we enjoy.

In our recent community survey, we heard from a lot of you that you want more information about what committer resources are available, how to connect with developers from other projects, and more information about what’s going on in the Foundation at large.

ASF Community Etiquette Guidelines

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The ASF and our many projects welcome all participants. Before you begin, it is important to review and respect our community guidelines. We have a few ASF-specific tips below.

Code of Conduct ¶

The ASF has adopted a Code of Conduct which covers interactions in all the online spaces that ASF projects use - email, issue trackers, wikis, websites, IRC, and the like. ASF projects are made up of volunteers, and we work to ensure that all productive contributions are welcomed. Every PMC is expected to ensure their project’s lists show proper behavior.

ASF Contributor Ladder

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Projects at the ASF offer a way to grow in your responsibilities in the project, from being a user, all the way up to being a maintainer of the project. While the specific details may look different from one project to another, the rungs of the ladder look mostly the same.

User ¶

Everything that we do in an ASF project is for the user. As a user of an Apache project, your responsibilities are just to enjoy the software.

ASF volunteers, mentors and speakers

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Here’s a list of ASF community members who volunteer to mentor new community members and/or to be speakers at ASF-related events.

Project names shown in bold mean that the corresponding person is a PMC member of that project.

ASF volunteer mentors & speakers ¶

In alphabetical order of ASF IDs.

Becoming a committer

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Disclaimer ¶

Nothing in this post should be construed as a guarantee. You can do everything listed here, for years, and still not become a committer. This is because the decision is made by individuals on the project PMC, who do things for their own reasons.

Benefits of Open Source Participation

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Benefits of ASF Participation ¶

Companies that actively participate in ASF projects realize significant strategic and operational advantages that extend far beyond cost savings. It’s important to think strategically about how, where, and why you will participate and measure impact.

Influence the Roadmap ¶

While it can sometimes take months, or years, to gain expertise and trust in an established community, showing up to do the daily project maintenance – issue and PR triage; reviewing PRs; planning and executing community events; answering user questions – you’ll quickly begin to establish that you can be trusted, which will make it easier for you to influence the direction of the project.

BoardReport

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

For complete details about what should be in ASF project board reports, including instructions on using the handy Reporter tool, please see:

https://apache.org/foundation/board/reporting

ComDevBoardReports

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Like every other ASF project, the ComDev PMC sends a quarterly report to the board. These reports are read by the board, and sometimes directors will ask the PMC for clarification or to make suggestions for the project.

You can read the complete list of Apache Community Development board reports. A chronological view of all minutes from ASF Board meetings is also public.

ComDevBoardResolution

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The Apache Community Development Project was created in November 2009.

Board Resolution Creating the Apache Community Development Project

   Establish the Apache Community Development Project

   WHEREAS, the Board of Directors deems it to be in the best
   interests of the Foundation and consistent with the
   Foundation's purpose to establish a Project Management
   Committee charged with coordinating community development
   efforts.

   NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that a Project Management
   Committee (PMC), to be known as the "Apache Community
   Development Project", be and hereby is established
   pursuant to Bylaws of the Foundation; and be it further

   RESOLVED, that the Apache Community Development Project
   be and hereby is responsible for helping people become
   involved with Apache projects; and be it further

   RESOLVED, that the office of Vice President, Apache Community
   Development Project, be and hereby is created, the person
   holding such office to serve at the direction of the Board
   of Directors as the chair of the Community Development PMC,
   and to have primary responsibility for management of the
   projects within the scope of the Apache Community Development
   project; and be it further

   RESOLVED, that the persons listed immediately below be and
   hereby are appointed to serve as the initial members of the
   Apache Community Development Project PMC:

   * Ross Gardler <rgardler@apache.org>
   * Luciano Resende <lresende@apache.org>
   * Santiago Gala <sgala@apache.org>
   * Bertrand Delacretaz <bdelacretaz@apache.org>

   be and hereby is tasked with the creation of a set of bylaws
   intended to encourage open participation in the Apache
   Community Development Project.

   Special order 3A, establish the Apache Community Development Project,
   was approved by Unanimous Vote of the directors present.

   Furthermore, the board requested that this PMC take over the
   stewardship of the community@ and women@ mailing lists.

Community Development Mailing Lists

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Almost everything and everyone at Apache use email lists to get work done, including this Community Development project right here! When people send email to a list, many other community members get the message, and someone usually provides a useful reply. Every email list at Apache is archived: most lists are archived publicly. That means that newcomers to a community can learn how decisions on a project have been made in the past, because all the email discussions a project has had are archived.

Community Growth

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Building a thriving project community requires intentional effort. This guide provides practical strategies to attract contributors to your project, and engage them in it.

Publish a roadmap ¶

While volunteers choose their own contributions, providing direction helps them find meaningful ways to get involved. Publishing a roadmap or wishlist of desired features and improvements gives potential contributors clear entry points.

Community.zones has been disabled

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

community.zones.a.o has been disabled ¶

We used to have a few apps meant to help find speakers and mentors on the community.zones.apache.org server , but those have been disabled in Feburary 2024 as they were not enthusiastically maintained.

The pages tagged with speakers or mentoring should provide the information that used to be there.

Contact points

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

If you have a question about anything Apache, the ComDev project is here to help guide you to the right place.
To help us help you, try to direct your question to the right mailing list - our volunteers do all their work on mailing lists.

Community Questions ¶

Email questions about community or issues across multiple Apache projects to dev@community.apache.org - or see our detailed Mailing List How To page.

Decision-Making

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The most important thing about engaging with any Apache project is that everyone is equal. All project participants with an opinion can express that opinion and, where appropriate, have the community consider it.

To some, the idea of having to establish consensus in a large and distributed team sounds inefficient and frustrating. Don’t despair, though: The Apache Way has a set of simple processes to ensure things proceed at a good pace.

Employing Open Source Contributors

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Employing or Contracting with Open Source Contributors ¶

If your business relies on an open source project, employing, contracting with or otherwise financially supporting, contributors to the project is the most effective way to ensure that your priorities are reflected in project decisions. (See also Recruiting and Employee Satisfaction)

This goes far beyond code contributions, although that is the most obvious and visible way that you can participate.

Think of staffing an open source project exactly the same way you would think about staffing an internal software development project or working with external contractors. What positions would you staff if you weren’t sharing the load with the community? Are those positions being adequately covered?

Financial Sponsorship of Open Source

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Financial Sponsorship ¶

The sustainability of our projects relies on consistent funding for infrastructure, legal services, marketing, events, and many other expenses. Financial sponsorship is a direct way to participate in keeping the lights on.

ASF Sponsorship ¶

Companies can sponsor the ASF with an annual donation, conferences sponsorship, targeted donations to a particular project, or in-kind donations of products or services.

Event and Meetup Sponsorship ¶

In addition to the main ASF conference, many ASF projects have their own events. These are usually listed on events.apache.org, and announced within the project community itself.

Funding campaign disclaimer

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Some Apache committers have successfully run funding campaigns to support their work on their favorite Apache projects.

This is ok in principle, but you have to make it clear that the campaign is your own thing, and avoid any confusion about the role of the ASF and how its projects work.

This page gives a few examples of how to do that.

If you have any question about this, feel free to ask on our dev@community.apache.org mailing list.

Getting started

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Where do I start? ¶

If you have no idea where to start your engagement with an Apache project, this is the page for you.

Finding the right project ¶

The key to working on projects at Apache (and on any open source project, for that matter) is to have a personal reason for being involved. You might be trying to solve a day job issue or learn a new technology, or simply want to do something fun in your free time. We don’t care what your motivation is; we just care about you wanting to get involved.

Good First Issues

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

What are “Good First Issues”? ¶

“Good First Issues” are a good way to start on an OSS project, and an official Github initiative. Several GitHub repositories use this label to encourage new contributors to start helping the project without the necessity, in most cases, to contact one of the contributors in advance or to have a deep knowledge of the project architecture or content.

How can I identify a “Good First Issue”? ¶

“Good First Issues”’s are usually flagged in the GitHub projects and normally simple tasks that can be accomplished detached from other dependencies. It can be a small code enhancement, documenting internal functions, creating small APIs to connect services, documentation, and others.

GSoC admins

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

A comprehensive guide to being a GSoC admin for the ASF

List of duties:

Make sure the ASF has an extensive list of project ideas ready shortly after Google announces the program (around the end of January). Projects must create Jira issues for their ideas and label them with gsoc2026; and mentor. If a project doesn’t use Jira, have them create the ideas in the GSOC Jira project. Create a Jira filter for these ideas to use in the application (see next). Have prospective mentors subscribe to mentors@community.apache.org. The following is an email sent to pmcs@a.o explaining the procedures to them:

Hello PMCs,

Google Summer of Code is the ideal opportunity for you to attract new
contributors to your projects.

If you want to participate with your project you now need to

 - understand what it means to be a mentor [1]
 - propose your project ideas. Just label your issues with 'gsoc2026' in Jira and
   they will show up at [2]. See also [1].
 - subscribe to mentors@community.apache.org (restricted to potential mentors, meant to be used
   as a private list - general discussions on the public
   dev@community.apache.org list as much as possible, please)

The ASF has applied as a participating organization with GSoC, so your project
doesn't need to do that. See [3] for more information. Note that the ASF isn't
accepted yet; nevertheless you *really* should start recording your ideas now.

Last year we had XX students complete GSoC successfully, some of whom are
now active contributors to the projects they worked on. Let's make this a
success again this year!

On behalf of the GSoC 2026 admins,

Uli

guide to being a mentor

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Submitting ideas to the mentoring programme ¶

We invite all ASF projects to submit their ideas for consideration in the ASF mentoring programme. Any Apache member and experienced committers can submit ideas via Jira (if your project does not use Jira you can use the Comdev GSoC Issue Tracker For GSoC Tasks. We are looking for as many interesting projects as we can come up with.

Helpwanted app has been retired

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The HelpWanted app has been retired ¶

The HelpWanted service, formerly at helpwanted.apache.org, has been retired. We encourage you to use a #GoodFirstIssue tag in your project’s issue tracker as an alternate to this tool.

The code is still available at https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/comdev/helpwanted.apache.org/site/

How To: Write A Mentor Request Email

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Having identified a Top Level Project (TLP) and an issue you would like to work on, it is a good idea to introduce yourself to the project community and outline your plans for tackling the issue. This lets the community know you are working on the issue and gives the community an early opportunity to help course correct your proposal, if necessary (which can save you lots of time).

Here’s an example of what your first email might look like:

Inviting a New Committer

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Identifying potential new committers, calling a vote for their recognition as a committer and processing the relevant documents are tasks to which the whole community can contribute.

Some of the PMCs automatically make committers PMC members. The templates below have conditional [if] clauses for that.

Inviting a New PMC member

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

This document describes a typical Apache project’s process for handling the vote to add a new PMC (Project Management Committee) member - when it is separate from becoming committer.

The Contributor Ladder helps explain different roles.

Links

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

This is a collection of links to information that’s relevant to the Apache Way and Open Source in general.

Note that most of these links point to websites that are outside of the control of the Apache Software Foundation. Please contact their respective authors for more information or questions. General discussion on the dev@community.a.o list is fine of course.

Mailing lists

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The ASF has a long tradition of using mailing lists as the primary communication format in projects. This is not merely because we’ve always done it that way, but is an intentional decision for the health and sustainability of our communities.

Inclusion and transparency ¶

Mailing lists ensure that all members of the community can participate on a level field, regardless of time zone or availability, whereas synchronous communication platforms (IRC, Slack, Discord, etc.) benefit only those who are online, and in the channel, at the time of the conversation.

May 2017 Community Newsletter

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Committer Resources

(So that we didn’t put them all in the first edition)

If you blog about anything Apache related, you might want to know about http://planet.apache.org/committers/ - the Apache committer blog aggregator. It’s valuable in seeing what the rest of the Apache community is working on. To add yourself to the planet, edit the file https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/planet/committers.ini in svn. It’s preferable if you use an ‘apache’ tag to separate out the stuff that is relevant to the community. If you have difficulty editing that file, come ask someone on the dev@community.apache.org mailing list, where we’ll be glad to help.

Mentee Ranking Process

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

This page describes the ranking process The Apache Software Foundation uses to evaluate mentee proposals.

The ranking process makes sure the most promising applicants get a mentor with an ASF project. The goal is not to identify the “best” projects for the ASF, but the best mentees who have applied to the ASF.

Remember, mentoring is all about the mentee and open source as a whole. It is not about the mentors or their projects.

Mentoring a new committer

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Mentoring a new committer ¶

So I’m a committer now. What’s next? What rights do I have now that I didn’t have before? What are the social conventions around making a commit?

These things vary from one project to another, so clearly documenting them for your particular project is critical.

Here’s the basics that are true across (almost) all Apache projects.

Mentoring a new PMC member

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Mentoring a new PMC member ¶

So I’m a PMC member now. What does this mean? What rights do I have now that I didn’t have before? What conversations belong on the private list, as opposed to the public list.

These things vary a little from one project to another, so clearly documenting them for your particular project is critical. And specifically assigning a PMC mentor to new PMC members can greatly help that new member get up to speed, and prevent problems in the future.

Mentoring Mentors

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Mentoring Mentors ¶

The job of a mentor is to reproduce - spread the work load. Once you’ve mentored someone, you need to encourage them to become a mentor themselves. Here’s some ways you can do that.

Mentoring: First Patch

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Mentoring: First Patch ¶

A beginner’s first patch on a project can be an intimidating and frustrating experience. Clearly documenting the entire process from checkout to accepted patch greatly lowers the barrier for a new contributor, and makes it more likely that they’ll come back for their second patch.

Here’s some tips on how to do that.

Outline:

Talk to the project first
- Make sure it’s wanted/welcome
- See if there’s already work in progress, or suggestions
- Find someone to be your advocate
Finding the source
Writing a good commit message
Following up on your pull request
Learning from your struggle: Improving the documentation

New PMC Members

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Congratulations on your invitation to join a project PMC! Here’s what you should do next.

Joining an ASF Project Management Committee represents more than recognition of your contributions. You take on a new level of responsibility for the project’s health and sustainability. The Board of Directors relies on you to provide oversight of the project code and community.

Join the conversation ¶

Subscribe to the PMC/Private mailing list if you haven’t already. This list handles confidential PMC business and serves as the Board’s communication channel with the PMC.

Non-code contributions

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Non-code contributions ¶

While most people think of contributing code when they think of open source participation, and most project contribution guides focus on code contributions, there are many other ways to contribute to an open source project.

Ways to contribute ¶

There are many broad categories of non-code contributions. This list is not comprehensive. Indeed, whatever your passion or expertise, there is probably a place for you to participate in some Apache project, or at the Foundation level.

Open Source Advocacy

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Open Source Advocacy ¶

Since the earliest days of the Apache Software Foundation, companies have built their business and reputation around ASF projects, and we have always encouraged that. We, in turn, depends on the good will of companies. How companies speak about ASF projects is a critical part of our public image.

Respect Our Brands ¶

Like any organization, the ASF has Trademark Policy which describes appropriate and inappropriate ways to use the brand of the ASF, and of ASF projects. We expect companies to familiarize themselves with these policies, just as they would when working with another company or partner.

Pilot Mentoring Programme with India ICFOSS

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Note that this information is about a pilot program that happened back in 2013.

The ASF has been participating in many mentoring initiatives, and it’s now partnering in a pilot project with India ICFOSS to provide mentoring for undergraduate and graduate students that have interest in learning how to participate in open source communities at ASF.

The mentoring programme is not here to teach you to write documentation or code. It is here to help you understand how to make a valuable contribution to an Apache project. You can expect to be guided through our contribution processes. You can also expect to get technical support with respect to your chosen project. You cannot expect your mentor to be a “teacher”, they will provide enough information for you to progress within the project. You need to bring the confidence to take their guidance and discover the detail for yourself.

PMC Chair

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The PMC Chair serves as the project’s voice to the board and handles quarterly reporting.

While typically a senior, respected community leader, the Chair is not the project leader but a peer among PMC members, with the same voting rights and authority as other PMC members, who has accepted additional secretarial and spokesperson responsibilities.

The Chair must familiarize themselves with the assigned duties of the role.

Secretarial duties ¶

The Chair is responsible for completing the necessary processes when the PMC adds committers and members.

PMC Reporting

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Each PMC must submit a quarterly report to the Board of Directors according to a schedule set by the Board.

You can find your project’s reporting schedule by visiting the committee’s page on projects.apache.org. You will also receive a reminder from the Secretary a few weeks prior to your report’s due date.

The official record of PMC reporting schedules is the file committee-info.txt (requires password authentication).

The complete detailed policy and process for reporting may be found on the board website.

PMC Responsibilities

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The Project Management Committee (PMC) oversees the project, including technical decisions, ensuring compliance with ASF standards, adding new members, and approving releases.

Conducting Business ¶

The PMC must conduct all business on the public developers’ mailing list, maintaining full community visibility.

Every PMC has a private@ list reserved for confidential matters such as discussing proposed committers, potential PMC members, or security issues. Do not use the private list to discuss features, roadmap discussions, or other technical decisions, as this cuts the community out of the process.

Project Independence

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

While not all ASF projects practice all aspects of the Apache Way in the same way, there are a number of rules and policies that Apache projects must follow – things like complying with PMC release voting, legal policy, brand policy, using mailing lists, etc., which are documented in various places.

A community is not merely a set of rules; it is also a set of behaviors that the participants express when interacting within that community. While the ASF is happy to host many different styles of project communities, there are some core behaviors that we expect and require of any Apache project.

Use the Comdev Issue Tracker For GSoC Tasks

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

If your project does not use the ASF Jira for issue tracking, you can use the ComDev GSoC Jira project to record your GSoC tasks.

Add tasks to the GSOC project
Ensure you add the labels gsoc2026, mentor and _YOUR_PROJECT_NAME_
Your issues will appear in the list of projects
We use the label _YOUR_PROJECT_NAME_ to map COMDEV issues to the real project when we create the ideas list

Please contact dev@community.apache.org if you have questions/difficulties.
