By policy and long-standing tradition, no. Companies do not participate in projects. Individuals participate in projects.

It's possible I misunderstand the question, but this is something we have always discouraged.

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
