Review Comment: I think this chapter shold have few things that are "corporate speak" - mentioning direct savings companies might have by dedicating the peoople to open-source is crucial. Almost no company will be incentivised in investing in something that will make "industry better" - we need to find ways to explain it in terms of "direct savings" for those who are supposed to invest their money. It is a very unappreciated effect of "being" in the open-source community, that you start to be respected by those who know most and can more eagerly share their knowledge. I have a great customer, that I work with for almost 4 years, and I literally saved weeks of their whole team's time by a weekly hour conversation with them. We need to make companies aware that their teams will be **far** more efficient if they will be respected by the community and recognised as contributors. It's not obvious, but very real in my opinion. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
