P. An Excessive Fascination with the Apache Brand

2014-12-22 Thread Jim Jagielski
I was wondering... What we *REALLY* want are projects that are interested more in The Apache Way than in the Apache Brand. We need to make it more clear, somehow, that new projects want to enter the ASF because they approve of, and want to follow, the *how* of creating projects and communities.
