在剛剛結束的 ASF Annual Meeting 上，2023 年新任 ASF Member 及董事會成員誕生了。Apache 軟體基金會透過官方 blog 向大家公佈了新一任董事的選舉成果。Apache 軟體基金會孵化器導師，ALC Beijing 發起人姜寧連任當選為 Apache 軟體基金會 2023 年董事。
以下是 SegmentFault 思否得到授權釋出的其在本次 Apache 軟體基金會董事會競選中的競選宣言。
首先先介紹一下我自己。我在 2006 年開始了對 ASF 的貢獻之旅，並且成為 ASF 會員已經超過 12 年時間。去年我被選為董事會的董事。作為一個活躍的 Apache 孵化器導師，我已經幫助了 10 多個孵化專案 。三年前我在北京發起了 ALC（Apache 本地社群 Apache Local Community），在中國推廣 Apache 之道和開源文化。我是 2021 年和 2022 年 ApacheCon Asia 的會議主席。
ASF 是一個偉大的地方，它將全世界的人們聚集在一起，為公共利益生產開源軟體。ASF 的運作原則和政策有助於確保以透明、負責任和民主的方式進行專案監督。透過實踐 “社群重於程式碼”，ASF 大力強調其專案是可持續的，並能長期持續地發展。作為一個社群的一份子我們相互學習相互幫助。
作為當地的導師，我見證並理解了東西方的文化差異對當地開發者的影響。發起 ASF 本地社群並舉行面對面的聚會，為大家創造了一個可以分享大家共同面對的與開源相關的挑戰性問題，在這裡這些問題都可以獲得社群的支援和解答。我非常樂意與 ASF 本土社群分享這些開源經驗，幫助他們解決在開源開發過程中面臨的實際問題，並在可能的情況下為增加中國的開源土壤肥力作出貢獻。我熱衷於為孵化專案提供支援，幫助他們完成孵化流程。作為孵化器的導師，我非常自豪地看到今年 Shenyu、Doris 和 Kyubbi 的畢業。
有了一年的董事經驗，我可以成為 ASF 和專案之間更好的橋樑，特別是在整個專案的社群發展層面。我有信心為董事會帶來一個獨特而有價值的觀點。如果我今年再次當選，我的重點和優先事項將是幫助 ASF 打破由地理、文化和語言造成的障礙。我希望透過以下方式，將我的時間用於充當催化劑和變革者。
- 為社群的 ASF 專案帶來更多可持續的建議。在閱讀關於 Apache 旗下專案的報告時，我看到這些專案因為缺乏社群的支援而被迫退休。我們需要強調社群參與、透明度和最佳實踐，以幫助確保 ASF 專案得到良好的支援和維護，並能夠長期滿足其使用者的需求。
- 在中國傳播推廣 ASF 專案和 Apache 之道。我一直很高興能促進 ASF 和中國本土社群之間的瞭解。我帶領 ALC Bejing 翻譯了 ASF 的開源治理政策 ，並發表了關於運作開源專案的文章。在成功舉辦了兩屆 ApacheCon 亞洲線上峰會之後，我相信在贊助商、會議主席、演講者和志願者的支援下，我們今年可以成功舉辦一場線下會議。
- 與中國的大型科技公司接觸。透過多年舉辦 ApacheCon Asia 和指導孵化專案，我們（中國的 Apache 本地社群）與中國的大型科技公司的 OSPO（開源辦公室）建立了良好的聯絡。我將進一步推動科技公司向與上游社群做出貢獻，並且推進 ASF 專案也可以與這些新鮮血液進行良好的合作，共同解決的大家面臨的技術問題，打造一個雙贏開源生態環境。
ASF 一直是人們在開源世界中推動創新的一個充滿魔力的場所。我真的很享受我在 ASF 的旅程，並希望能夠發揮更大的作用。我非常期待著在另一個任期內從董事會為 ASF 服務。

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.
