How we work: the Apache Way

● community over code

● meritocracy organization

● communication in the mailing list

Contributing

there is a fairly obvious path:1. be familiar with the Apache Way, especially about

meritocracy2. participate in the mailing lists and help (often

more important than writing amazing code)3. write code, add patches, unit tests and

documentation

In the earlier stages of the project, the bar is a bit lower, so it pays to join early!
