Learn the core behaviors that make up the Apache Way, and how they are used in successful Apache projects from core technologies, to big data, to user facing projects. The behaviors in the Apache Way are required for all Apache projects, but can be simply used by any open source projects. Distributed decision making, open communication, do-ocracy, and diverse communities are the cornerstones. Benefit from the experience of over 5,000 Apache committers and 170 successful projects by applying these behaviors and techniques in your own projects! audience: Community managers, developers, project managers involved with FOSS projects. slides: http://shaneslides.com/apachecon/TheApacheWay-Intro-ApacheConNA2017.html video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpAv54KIgK8 topics: - apacheway - community present_at: - http://apachecon.com/2017 present_date: '2017-05-16'
