If you believe that investing in a project is critical to your company, then you hire people to do that work, just like you would with any product you were going to take to market. Viewing open source as somehow fundamentally different than an in-house software development project is the root of many antipaterns in how companies interact with open source. They're really the same thing. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service. To respond to the message, please log on to GitHub and use the URL above to go to the specific comment.
