If you don't join the +conversation, then your competitors will decide how tomorrow's +technology will shape up. + +Make sure someone on your team is reading the project [mailing +lists](https://www.apache.org/foundation/mailinglists.html) every day, +and advocating for your priorities. That's what community means -- +showing up to own the future of the project. + +While trust does not necessarily transfer to other employees, over time, +as project participants see your company actively contributing to the +project, and demonstrating ownership, they'll be more willing to work +with you. + +## Recruiting + +By working upstream on projects, you directly showcase to potential +employees what they might be working on. This helps attract the right +kind of talent to work on your priorities, and they'll begin to see your +company as a partner in the project, and an attractive place to work. + +Being involved in the day-to-day life of the project +gives you direct access to the most qualified people in the world to +work on your team. And you know they'll be arriving with the skills you +need. + +## Business and Strategic Advantages + +For more than 25 years, the ASF has been a place where industry +standards have been set and implemented. Collaborating in those +projects is the most effective way to shape industry standards and best +practices. You'll be building trust with current and potential +customers, and building strategic partnerships with other companies +working in the same space. + +And by collaborating with your peers on the common tasks, you'll be able +to better focus on what is your unique business differentiators.
