I can only speak for myself. I would like to acknowledge the patronage of the company that employs me and makes it possible for me to contribute to Apache projects.
I very strongly believe in the Apache philosophy that people, not the companies that employ them, are the committers to projects. There is a potential for conflict of interest; a time-honored solution to that problem is to acknowledge that conflict of interest. I am an employee of Hortonworks, but unless I explicitly state that I am wearing my Hortonworks hat, in discussions I am advocating what I believe is best for Calcite. In the case of Calcite, I am proud that our committers come from a variety of companies and I think this diversity makes the project attractive to someone considering whether to use it.
