HI Joe, Thanks for your reply. Technically, that is what ALL mentors suppose to do. Wear different hats when representing as Apache member. But we all know that is not how it happens in reality. Most people nowadays get paid to do open source by day employer so like it or not some influence of t

Hi Nick, One of our driving goals in open sourcing Pirk is to build and foster a diverse community around scalable, robust PIR. Although the initial committers of Pirk come from a limited set of entities, we are absolutely committed to recruiting and growing a diverse committing community. Thanks
