Success at Apache: For Love or Money: Volunteer vs. Professional Open Source
EDITOR'S NOTE: "Success at Apache" reflects diverse, personal experiences from our community members, with particular focus on the people and processes behind why the ASF "just works". The post below is the result of a discussion with the author that originated in early September 2018 and remained unpublished as its tone deviates from the general tenor of this series.Over the past few months, this topic has increased in visibility and relevance with the greater community, and we have made an exception in publishing due its timeliness and representation of the evolution of Open Source communities, both within and without Apache.
A few weeks ago, a colleague asked me what I believed to be the biggest threat facing Open Source today. I answered that I think it's full-time Open Source developers, and the effect they have on part-time volunteer developers.
Long ago (it actually hasn't been very long, it just seems that way sometimes) Open Source was developed primarily by part-time hobbyist developers, working on their evenings and weekends on things that they were passionate about. Sure, there were full-time developers, but they were in the minority. Those of us working a few hours on the weekends envied them greatly. We wished that we, too, could get paid to do the thing that we love.
Now, 20 years on, the overwhelming majority of Open Source development is done by full-timers, working 9-5 on Open Source software. And those who are working nights and weekends are often made to feel that they are less important than those that are putting in the long hours.
Most of the time, this is unintentional. The full-timers are not intentionally marginalizing the part-timers. It just happens as a result of the time that they're able to put into it.
Imagine, if you will, that you're an "evenings-and-weekends" contributor to a project. You have an idea to add a new feature, and you propose it on the mailing list, as per your project culture. And you start working on it, a couple of hours on Friday evening, and then a few more hours on Saturday morning before you have to mow the lawn and take your kids to gymnastics practice. Then there's the cross country meet, and next thing you know, it's Monday morning, and you're back at work.
All week you think about what you're going to do next weekend.
But, Friday evening comes, and you `git pull`, and, lo and behold, one of the full-timers has taken your starting point, turned it in a new direction, completed the feature, and there's been a new release of the project. All while you were punching the clock on your unrelated job.
This is great for the product, of course. It moves faster. Users get features faster. Releases come out faster.
But, meanwhile, you have been told pretty clearly that your contribution wasn't good enough. Or, at the very least, that it wasn't fast enough.
The Cost of Professionalism
And of course there are lots of other benefits, too. Open Source code, as a whole, is probably better than it used to be, because people have more time to focus. The features are more driven by actual use cases, since there's all sorts of customer feedback that goes into the road map. But the volunteerism that made Open Source work in the first place is getting slowly squelched.
This is happening daily across the Open Source world, and MOST of it is unintentional. People are just doing their jobs, after all.
We are also starting to see places where projects are actively shunning the part timers, because they are not pulling their weight. Indeed, in recent weeks I've been told this explicitly by a prominent developer on a project that I follow. He feels that the part timers are stealing his glory, because they have their names on the list of contributors, but they aren't keeping up with the volume of his contributions.
But, whether or not it is intentional, I worry about what this will do to the culture of open source as a whole. I do not in any way begrudge the full-timers their jobs. It's what I dreamed of for *years* when I was an evenings-and-weekends open source developer, and it's what I have now. I am *thrilled* to be paid to work full time in the Open Source world. But I worry that most new Open Source projects are completely corporate driven, and have none of the passion, the scratch-your-own-itch, and the personal drive with which Open Source began.
While most of the professional Open Source developers I have worked with in my years at Red Hat have been passionate and personally invested in the projects that they work on, there's a certain percentage of them for whom this is just a job. If they were reassigned to some other project tomorrow, they'd switch over with no remorse. And I see this more and more as the years go by. Open Source projects as passion is giving way to developers that are working on whatever their manager has assigned, and have no personal investment whatsoever.
This doesn't in any way mean that they are bad people. Work is honorable.
I just worry about what effect this will have, and what Open Source will look like 20 years from now.
Rich Bowen has been doing open source-y stuff since about 1995, and has been a member of the Apache Software Foundation since 2002. He currently serves on the ASF Board of Directors. By day, he's the CentOS Community Manager, working for Red Hat. Read Rich's earlier post, "Success at Apache: Wearing Small Hats".

The Apache Software Foundation Announces Apache® Airflow™ as a Top-Level Project
Open Source Big Data workflow management system in use at Adobe, Airbnb, Etsy, Google, ING, Lyft, PayPal, Reddit, Square, Twitter, and United Airlines, among others.
Wakefield, MA —8 January 2019— The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), the all-volunteer developers, stewards, and incubators of more than 350 Open Source projects and initiatives, announced today Apache® Airflow™ as a Top-Level Project (TLP).
Apache Airflow is a flexible, scalable workflow automation and scheduling system for authoring and managing Big Data processing pipelines of hundreds of petabytes. Graduation from the Apache Incubator as a Top-Level Project signifies that the Apache Airflow community and products have been well-governed under the ASF's meritocratic process and principles.
"Since its inception, Apache Airflow has quickly become the de-facto standard for workflow orchestration," said Bolke de Bruin, Vice President of Apache Airflow. "Airflow has gained adoption among developers and data scientists alike thanks to its focus on configuration-as-code. That has gained us a community during incubation at the ASF that not only uses Apache Airflow but also contributes back. This reflects Airflow’s ease of use, scalability, and power of our diverse community; that it is embraced by enterprises and start-ups alike, allows us to now graduate to a Top-Level Project."
Apache Airflow is used to easily orchestrate complex computational workflows. Through smart scheduling, database and dependency management, error handling and logging, Airflow automates resource management, from single servers to large-scale clusters. Written in Python, the project is highly extensible and able to run tasks written in other languages, allowing integration with commonly used architectures and projects such as AWS S3, Docker, Apache Hadoop HDFS, Apache Hive, Kubernetes, MySQL, Postgres, Apache Zeppelin, and more. Airflow originated at Airbnb in 2014 and was submitted to the Apache Incubator March 2016.
Apache Airflow is in use at more than 200 organizations, including Adobe, Airbnb, Astronomer, Etsy, Google, ING, Lyft, NYC City Planning, Paypal, Polidea, Qubole, Quizlet, Reddit, Reply, Solita, Square, Twitter, and United Airlines, among others. A list of known users can be found at https://github.com/apache/incubator-airflow#who-uses-apache-airflow
"Adobe Experience Platform is built on cloud infrastructure leveraging open source technologies such as Apache Spark, Kafka, Hadoop, Storm, and more," said Hitesh Shah, Principal Architect of Adobe Experience Platform. "Apache Airflow is a great new addition to the ecosystem of orchestration engines for Big Data processing pipelines. We have been leveraging Airflow for various use cases in Adobe Experience Cloud and will soon be looking to share the results of our experiments of running Airflow on Kubernetes."
"Our clients just love Apache Airflow. Airflow has been a part of all our Data pipelines created in past 2 years acting as the ring-master and taming our Machine Learning and ETL Pipelines," said Kaxil Naik, Data Engineer at Data Reply. "It has helped us create a Single View for our client's entire data ecosystem. Airflow's Data-aware scheduling and error-handling helped automate entire report generation process reliably without any human-intervention. It easily integrates with Google Cloud (and other major cloud providers) as well and allows non-technical personnel to use it without a steep learning curve because of Airflow’s configuration-as-a-code paradigm."
"With over 250 PB of data under management, PayPal relies on workflow schedulers such as Apache Airflow to manage its data movement needs reliably," said Sid Anand, Chief Data Engineer at PayPal. "Additionally, Airflow is used for a range of system orchestration needs across many of our distributed systems: needs include self-healing, autoscaling, and reliable [re-]provisioning."
"Since our offering of Apache Airflow as a service in Sept 2016, a lot of big and small enterprises have successfully shifted all of their workflow needs to Airflow," said Sumit Maheshwari, Engineering Manager at Qubole. "At Qubole, not only are we a provider, but also a big consumer of Airflow as well. For example, our whole Insight and Recommendations platform is built around Airflow only, where we process billions of events every month from hundreds of enterprises and generate insights for them on big data solutions like Apache Hadoop, Apache Spark, and Presto. We are very impressed by the simplicity of Airflow and ease at which it can be integrated with other solutions like clouds, monitoring systems or various data sources."
"At ING, we use Apache Airflow to orchestrate our core processes, transforming billions of records from across the globe each day," said Rob Keevil, Data Analytics Platform Lead at ING WB Advanced Analytics. "Its feature set, Open Source heritage and extensibility make it well suited to coordinate the wide variety of batch processes we operate, including ETL workflows, model training, integration scripting, data integrity testing, and alerting. We have played an active role in Airflow development from the onset, having submitted hundreds of pull requests to ensure that the community benefits from the Airflow improvements created at ING. We are delighted to see Airflow graduate from the Apache Incubator, and look forward to see where this exciting project will be taken in future!"
"We saw immediately the value of Apache Airflow as an orchestrator when we started contributing and using it," said Jarek Potiuk, Principal Software Engineer at Polidea. "Being able to develop and maintain the whole workflow by engineers is usually a challenge when you have a huge configuration to maintain. Airflow allows your DevOps to have a lot of fun and still use the standard coding tools to evolve your infrastructure. This is 'infrastructure as a code' at its best."
"Workflow orchestration is essential to the (big) data era that we live in," added de Bruin. "The field is evolving quite fast and the new data thinking is just starting to make an impact. Apache Airflow is a child of the data era and therefore very well positioned, and is also young so a lot of development can still happen. Airflow can use bright minds from scientific computing, enterprises, and start-ups to further improve it. Join the community, it is easy to hop on!"
Availability and Oversight
Apache Airflow software is released under the Apache License v2.0 and is overseen by a self-selected team of active contributors to the project. A Project Management Committee (PMC) guides the Project's day-to-day operations, including community development and product releases.
