Hi, We have seen many threads discussing whether someone self-promotes as "an original creator of Apache Foo" is suitable.
Today, when I'm reviewing Curator's website, I found an interesting page [1] that tells the project's history. [1] https://curator.apache.org/community/history It clearly states that Jordan Zimmerman is the original author of the project, which he created while working at Netflix. Later, the project entered the incubator, graduated, and became a top-level project in the ASF. All the history after donating is part of Apache Curator. I would encourage projects to write such a page when they are interested in identifying the original creators. A project's rationale explains its motivation, who creates what, and for what reasons (why). This would be much more valuable content to host. (This is a required section in the incubation proposal.) History can continue if anything significant happens after entering the ASF, but the narrative subject becomes Apache Foo, and we should be fine with those words. Best, tison. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@community.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@community.apache.org
