在刚刚完结的 ASF Annual Meeting 上，2023 年新任 ASF Member 及董事会成员诞生了。Apache 软件基金会通过官网 blog 向大家颁布了新一任董事的选举成绩。Apache 软件基金会孵化器导师，ALC Beijing 发起人姜宁连任入选为 Apache 软件基金会 2023 年董事。
以下是 SegmentFault 思否失去受权公布的其在本次 Apache 软件基金会董事会竞选中的竞选宣言。
首先先介绍一下我本人。我在 2006 年开始了对 ASF 的奉献之旅，并且成为 ASF 会员曾经超过 12 年工夫。去年我被选为董事会的董事。作为一个沉闷的 Apache 孵化器导师，我曾经帮忙了 10 多个孵化我的项目。三年前我在北京发动了 ALC（Apache 本地社群 Apache Local Community），在中国推广 Apache 之道和开源文化。我是 2021 年和 2022 年 ApacheCon Asia 的会议主席。
ASF 是一个平凡的中央，它将全世界的人们汇集在一起，为公共利益生产开源软件。ASF 的运作准则和政策有助于确保以通明、负责任和专制的形式进行我的项目监督。通过实际“社区重于代码”，ASF 鼎力强调其我的项目是可继续的，并能长期继续地倒退。作为一个社区的一份子咱们互相学习互相帮忙。
作为当地的导师，我见证并了解了东西方的文化差异对当地开发者的影响。发动 ASF 本地社群并举办面对面的团聚，为大家发明了一个能够分享大家独特面对的与开源相干的挑战性问题，在这里这些问题都能够取得社群的反对和解答。我十分乐意与 ASF 外乡社群分享这些开源教训，帮忙他们解决在开源开发过程中面临的理论问题，并在可能的状况下为减少中国的开源土壤肥力作出贡献。我热衷于为孵化我的项目提供反对，帮忙他们实现孵化流程。作为孵化器的导师，我十分骄傲地看到往年 Shenyu、Doris 和 Kyubbi 的毕业。
有了一年的董事教训，我能够成为 ASF 和我的项目之间更好的桥梁，特地是在整个我的项目的社区倒退层面。我有信念为董事会带来一个独特而有价值的观点。如果我往年再次入选，我的重点和优先事项将是帮忙 ASF 突破由天文、文化和语言造成的阻碍。我心愿通过以下形式，将我的工夫用于充当催化剂和改革者。
- 为社区的 ASF 我的项目带来更多可继续的倡议。在浏览对于 Apache 旗下我的项目的报告时，我看到这些我的项目因为不足社区的反对而被迫退休。咱们须要强调社区参加、透明度和最佳实际，以帮忙确保 ASF 我的项目失去良好的反对和保护，并可能长期满足其用户的需要。
- 在中国流传推广 ASF 我的项目和 Apache 之道。我始终很快乐能促成 ASF 和中国外乡社群之间的理解。我率领 ALC Bejing 翻译了 ASF 的开源治理政策，并发表了对于运作开源我的项目的文章。在胜利举办了两届 ApacheCon 亚洲在线峰会之后，我置信在赞助商、会议主席、演讲者和志愿者的反对下，咱们往年能够胜利举办一场线下会议。
- 与中国的大型科技公司接触。通过多年举办 ApacheCon Asia 和领导孵化我的项目，咱们（中国的 Apache 本地社群）与中国的大型科技公司的 OSPO（开源办公室）建设了良好的分割。我将进一步推动科技公司向与上游社群做出奉献，并且推动 ASF 我的项目也能够与这些新鲜血液进行良好的单干，独特解决的大家面临的技术问题，打造一个双赢开源生态环境。
ASF 始终是人们在开源世界中推动翻新的一个充斥魔力的场合。我真的很享受我在 ASF 的旅程，并心愿可能施展更大的作用。我十分期待着在另一个任期内从董事会为 ASF 服务。

For those who don’t know me, I started my contribution journey to ASF in 2006 and have been a member for over twelve years. Last year I was elected as a director of the board. As an active Apache Incubator mentor, I have helped 10+ podling projects. I started the ALC (Apache Local Community) Beijing three years ago to promote the Apache way and the open source culture in China. I’m the conference chair of ApacheCon Asia 2021and 2022.
The ASF is a great place that brings people worldwide to produce open-source software for the public good. The ASF operates under principles and policies that help ensure project oversight in a transparent, accountable, and democratic manner. By practicing“Community over Code”, the ASF strongly emphasizes that its projects are sustainable and can continue to thrive over the long term. We learn from each other and help each other as a community.
As a local mentor, I have witnessed and understood the cultural difference between the East and West affect local developers. Starting the local community and holding the in-person meetup create a safe place to share their challenging issues and get support from the community. It’s always my pleasure to share these experiences with the local community, helping them address their issues and contributing when and wherever possible to increase open-source soil fertility in China. I’m passionate about championing the podling projects and helping them go through the podling process. As an incubator mentor, I’m very proud to see the graduations of ShenYu, Doris, and Kyubbi this year.
With a year of experience as a board director, I can be a better bridge between the ASF and projects, especially on the community development level across the projects. I am confident in bringing a unique and valuable perspective to the board. If I am elected again this year, my focus and priorities will be to help the ASF to break the barriers caused by geography, culture, and language. I want to devote my time to acting as a catalyst and change agent by:
- Bringing more sustainable insights into the community for the ASF projects. When reading about the reports of TLPs, I saw the projects moved to the attic because of the lack of support from the community. We need to emphasize community involvement, transparency, and best practices to help ensure that ASF projects are well-supported, well-maintained, and able to meet the needs of their users over time.
- Spreading awareness of the ASF projects and the ASF Way in China. It’s always my pleasure to foster understanding between the ASF and the local Chinese community. I led ALC Bejing to translate ASF governance policies and published articles about running open-source projects. After successfully holding two ApacheCon Asia online summits, I am confident we can have an in-person conference this year with the support of sponsors, track chairs, speakers, and volunteers.
- Engaging with the big tech companies in China. By holding the ApacheCon Asia and mentoring podling projects for years, we (Apache Local Communities in China) build good connections with the OSPOs of big tech companies in China. It could be a win-win situation if these company knows how to contribute to the upstream, and the ASF projects can work with these new blood to tackle the common tech problems.
The ASF has always been a magnificent place for people to boost innovation in the open-source world. I truly enjoyed my journey with the ASF and want to bring it to the next level. And I look forward to serving the ASF from the board of directors in another term.
