+<p>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.</p>
+<h2 id="respect-our-brands">Respect Our Brands <a class="headerlink"
title="Permalink" href="#respect-our-brands">¶</a></h2>
+<p>Like any organization, the ASF has <a
href="https://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/";>Trademark
+Policy</a> 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.</p>
+<h2 id="be-proactive-about-education">Be Proactive About Education <a
class="headerlink" title="Permalink"
href="#be-proactive-about-education">¶</a></h2>
+<p>Be sure that anyone speaking on behalf of your company understands
+and respects the <a href="https://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/";>ASF
Trademark
+Policy</a>. Most violations of
+these policies have historically come from company spokespeople who do
+not understand the nature of the ASF, or of open source software, and
+speak of our projects like just another of your company’s products.</p>
+<p>Be proactive about educating these individuals about appropriate ways to
+speak about these projects. Use this website as a reference, and
+encourage them to talk directly to projects if they have any questions
+about how best to represent your work in and around these communities.</p>
+<h2 id="community-first">Community First <a class="headerlink"
title="Permalink" href="#community-first">¶</a></h2>
+<p>When you mention ASF projects, we ask that you put the community first.
+It’s great to celebrate what your company and employees are doing in and
+around ASF projects - we welcome and encourage that! - but be sure to
+give credit where it’s due. The community as a whole makes our projects
+work, and contributes to your success.</p>
+<p>Some companies make claims about their involvement in ASF projects that
+imply that they own the project, or are primarily responsible for it.
+Phrases like “creators of …” or “primary contributors
to …” devalue
+the work that the rest of the community does, and unfairly take credit
+for the work that others have done to contribute to your success. We ask
+that you not do that.</p>

title="Permalink"
href="#employing-or-contracting-with-open-source-contributors">¶</a></h1>
+<p>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 <a
href="/companies/benefits.html#recruiting-and-employee-satisfaction">Recruiting
and Employee
+Satisfaction</a>)</p>
+<p>This goes <a href="/contributors/non-code.html">far beyond code
contributions</a>,
+although that is the most obvious and visible way that you can participate.</p>
+<p>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?</p>
+<p>Dedicating employee or contractors’ time to positions like marketing,
events, and
+end-user support, as well as software development, significantly
+increases your influence and trust in the project community.</p>
+<h2 id="effective-ways-to-contribute">Effective Ways to Contribute <a
class="headerlink" title="Permalink"
href="#effective-ways-to-contribute">¶</a></h2>
+<p>While many companies contribute here and there to open source projects,
+having a carefully considered strategy for doing so will lead to more
+consistent, measurable results, and greater influence in the project’s
+decisions and roadmap.</p>
+<h3 id="allocate-dedicated-time">Allocate Dedicated Time <a class="headerlink"
title="Permalink" href="#allocate-dedicated-time">¶</a></h3>
+<p>Earning trust in open source projects takes consistent engagement, and
+visibility to the community. Thus, having guaranteed dedicated time to
+focus on upstream work will result in better long-term results.</p>
+<p>Giving employees a specific time allocation - 10-20% of their schedule
+is typical - will ensure that they remain visible to the community, and
+are able to have focused time to build their skills.</p>
+<p>Trust earned by one contributor does not necessarily rub off on your
+other employees. So don’t assume that you can just swap out one employee
+for another.</p>
+<h3 id="recognize-contributions">Recognize Contributions <a class="headerlink"
title="Permalink" href="#recognize-contributions">¶</a></h3>
+<p>Include open source contributions in performance reviews and career
+advancement considerations. Define specific metrics, such as PRs
+accepted, reviews, public speaking engagements, or promotion to
+committer or PMC member, which are tied to promotion opportunities. This
+will help employees feel appreciated, and communicate that engagement in
+open source projects is not considered charity or altruism, but is a key
+part of company goals.</p>
+<h3 id="support-conference-and-meetup-participation">Support Conference and
Meetup Participation <a class="headerlink" title="Permalink"
href="#support-conference-and-meetup-participation">¶</a></h3>
+<p>Fund employee attendance at relevant conferences and encourage speaking
+opportunities. Understand that attending conferences is primarily about
+creating opportunities to collaborate with peers, and this, in turn,
+will accelerate your business priorities.</p>
+<h2 id="support-individual-contributors">Support Individual Contributors <a
class="headerlink" title="Permalink"
href="#support-individual-contributors">¶</a></h2>
+<p>Supporting individual contributors financially (via B2B contracts,
+individual sponsorships, fellowships, and third party sponsor programs)
+can be a very effective way to contribute to a project if you don’t have
+full-time positions available on your payroll.</p>
+<h3 id="bug-bounties">Bug Bounties <a class="headerlink" title="Permalink"
href="#bug-bounties">¶</a></h3>
+<p>While the ASF does not ever directly pay for contributions to ASF
+projects, as a matter of principle, there are many third-party “bug
+bounty” sites that allow you to support individual contributors in their
+work on projects that you care about.</p>
+<p>The project
+<a
href="https://github.com/disclose/bug-bounty-platforms";>bug-bounty-platforms</a>
+maintains a list of such sites, along with contact information. The ASF
+does not endorse any of these sites, but developers are welcome to work
+with them as they contribute to ASF projects.</p>
+<h3 id="sponsor-and-internship-programs">Sponsor and Internship Programs <a
class="headerlink" title="Permalink"
href="#sponsor-and-internship-programs">¶</a></h3>
+<p>There are many third-party programs through which you can support
+contributors to open source projects, with <a
href="https://github.com/open-source/sponsors";>GitHub
+Sponsors</a> being one of the
+best-known.</p>
+<p>Internship programs such as <a
href="https://www.outreachy.org/";>Outreachy</a>
+provide opportunties for individuals to work a paid internship for an
+open source project. Companies can support these organizations, and thus
+indirectly fund work on projects that they care about.</p>
+<h2 id="project-independence">Project Independence <a class="headerlink"
title="Permalink" href="#project-independence">¶</a></h2>
+<p>Project independence is a central tenet of the ASF, and one of the most
+common places that companies misstep in their interactions with ASF
+projects.</p>
+<p>Take time to understand ASF ethos, the <a
href="https://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/";>ASF Trademark
+Policy</a>, and the reasons why
+we value project independence. Trust takes a long time to earn, but can
+be burned very quickly by misusing a project’s brand.</p>
+<p>There are several very practical ways that you can contribute to overall
+project health, while earning trust for your contributors.</p>

title="Permalink" href="#broad-project-ownership">¶</a></h3>
+<p>Ensure contributions align with long-term project goals rather than
+solely short-term company priorities. That ensures that the project as a
+whole remains healthy.</p>
+<p>Companies that focus only on contributions that support their own
+specific business model quickly identify themselves as not valuing the
+overall health of the project. It also makes it very difficult to
+attract broader community interest in your proposed changes, since they
+are seen as self-serving.</p>
+<h3 id="chop-wood-carry-water-routine-maintenance">Chop Wood, Carry Water
(Routine Maintenance) <a class="headerlink" title="Permalink"
href="#chop-wood-carry-water-routine-maintenance">¶</a></h3>
+<p>Open source communities sometimes use the phrase “chop wood, carry
+water” to talk about doing the mundane maintenance tasks that are
+required to keep a project going.</p>
+<p>Many companies focus only on the flashy new features, and ignore the
+fact that a software project needs daily care to keep going.</p>
+<h4 id="triage">Triage <a class="headerlink" title="Permalink"
href="#triage">¶</a></h4>
+<p>Participating in the weekly triage of new issue reports and pull
+requests keeps a project healthy. It ensures that the project does not
+appear abandoned. And it exposes your team to parts of the project on
+which they would not otherwise gain expertise.</p>
+<p>It also identifies your contributors as people who care about the
+overall health of the project, which, in turn, earns trust and increases
+the community’s willingness to work with you.</p>
+<p>Be sure to explicitly give your employees time to do these tasks.</p>
+<h4 id="infrastructure">Infrastructure <a class="headerlink" title="Permalink"
href="#infrastructure">¶</a></h4>
+<p>While the physical infrastructure behind ASF projects is maintained by a
+<a href="https://infra.apache.org/";>team of paid professionals</a>,
there’s more to
+project infrastructure than that. Keeping the CI system running
+effectively, understanding what supplementary infrastructure the project
+depends, on, and generally being useful are key ways to ensure the
+sustainability of the project.</p>
+<p>For projects that provide infrastructure, or other cloud services,
+donating these to the project (talk to infra about how!) is critical to
+the health of ASF projects.</p>
+<h4 id="user-support">User Support <a class="headerlink" title="Permalink"
href="#user-support">¶</a></h4>
+<p>Answering user questions is the very best way to understand the pain
+that your own customers are experiencing with the project. It will make
+you more responsive to them, and build your own expertise, in a way that
+no other activity will do.</p>
+<h3 id="transparency">Transparency <a class="headerlink" title="Permalink"
href="#transparency">¶</a></h3>
+<p>Many companies value secrecy in their roadmap, as they believe that it
+gives them a competitive advantage in the market.</p>
+<p>This is in tension with the open source focus on transparency and
+collaboration. Finding an appropriate balance is key to your successful
+participation in ASF projects.</p>
+<p>Being transparent about your company priorities has several positive
+outcomes.</p>
+<h4 id="avoid-conflicts">Avoid Conflicts <a class="headerlink"
title="Permalink" href="#avoid-conflicts">¶</a></h4>
+<p>Telling the project what you will be working on can avoid conflicting
+with other work that is going in a different direction. The project can
+discuss your plans, and compromise on a mutually agreed direction,
+saving you time going down a path which will ultimately get rejected.</p>
+<h4 id="attract-collaborators">Attract Collaborators <a class="headerlink"
title="Permalink" href="#attract-collaborators">¶</a></h4>
+<p>It can be a way to identify people from outside your organization who
+share the same priority, who may work with you to achieve your goals,
+and, in the process, provide ideas and innovation that you may have
+missed had you done the work yourself behind your company walls.</p>
+<h4 id="earn-trust">Earn Trust <a class="headerlink" title="Permalink"
href="#earn-trust">¶</a></h4>
+<p>It always comes back to earning trust. Being transparent about your
+priorities shows the project what you care about. It doesn’t leave them
+guessing about your ulterior motives. The more you do this, and the more
+you live up to what you say you’re going to do, the more the project
+will be willing to work with you.</p>
