Hi ComDev, What are your opinions/best practices on attributing contributions to commercial vendors who support an Apache project. I recently had a few discussions with folks in OSS and they convinced me on this being a good idea because it has a two-fold purpose:
1. It brings clarity to project roadmap and dependencies. Knowing what companies are investing in a given area, allows users & contributors know who to contact to move their own contributions faster and gives companies the ability to accept user suggestions. 1. Gives recognition to the companies (or individuals) who are investing in Airflow. This in the long term adds value to the project brand itself as it’s easy to demonstrate who is using/contributing to the project. So my question is: Have you seen this done in a project? If yes, how they do it? Would you support this? I want to clarify that I understand that Open Source is about the individuals and not the companies, however I also see the need for transparency for the sake of project agility. Thanks G
