The silent drum-beat
Posted by Jim Jagielski on Monday, November 28. 2011 in ASF
There are some topics which are just too expansive for a simple tweet. This is one of them.
Lately, there have been quite a few posts extolling the assumed decrease in the viability and "reason" for the Apache Software Foundation. It's always fashionable to lump all FOSS foundations, and related entities (such as Github), into one combined group and pick out the "winners" and "losers" and those whose stars are rising and those whose glory days are fading away. With the hubbub around DVCS and git/Github, people look at the ASF, and our measured approach to incorporating git into our workflow policies, and declare that since we have not drank the Kool-Aid, the ASF's days are done.
But all this misses the point about what the ASF is, and who we are, and why we are. I hope this blog post will clarify some things.
