Hi, >So, again what is the board, why do I need it, are they going to make me >more productive, did anyone received some dev tool? >There is a PayPal account. Where is the money?
I'm not a Board member, but AFAIK most of the above money questions are answered at http://www.apache.org/foundation/contributing.html. It's in the technical infrastructure that transfers this message, hosts our CVS and downloads, etc. Board members don't get paid and are all working developers. They're elected by Members of the ASF as explained in http://www.apache.org/foundation/. They make all of us more productive (and have been doing so for years) by providing the technical infrastructure described above. I don't agree with all their policies and recommendations, especially the recent ones on removing author tags and not including 3rd party jars. But by and large I think they're doing and have done a good job, have not muddled in individual projects, and their success is evident from the status of the ASF as the leading provider of open source software.
