This includes not just code contributions, but documentation, community management, testing, design, and advocacy work. + </div><!-- End Employ --> + Review Comment: Suggesting that full-time employees cannot make decisions that balance the project with their employer is contrary to my experience at the ASF. I've put a "Support individual contributors" section in employ.md because I think that it's just a nuanced difference over full-time employes, and not "completely different", as you state here. Indeed, my ENTIRE GOAL with this set of documents is to help companies foster open source contribution in a project-first way, and stating that one can ONLY do this as an independent contributor is diametrically opposed to that message. So I'm ... reluctant. Perhaps you can convince me. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
