Feedback from the board your July report

[Alan Gates <al...@gmail.com>]

There was concern expressed by a board reviewer of the Incubator report on
the HAWQ section.  He was concerned about calling out that the release
manager of HAWQ 2.2 worked for Oushu.

So, I’m sending this as a reminder that individuals work in Apache as
individuals, not as employees of their company.  It is good to call out new
releases, and to point out that new individuals are stepping up to take on
release manager responsibilties.  But their corporate affiliation should be
left out.

Alan.

I assumed as much, and it’s great to see that others are picking it up.

Alan,

Thank you for passing along the feedback and reminder *"individuals work in
Apache as individuals, and not as employees of their company"*. The
feedback is greatly appreciated. We will exclude all corporate affiliations
going forward. My intent for adding the reference was to demonstrate a
growing user/dev community beyond the original contributing company (i.e.
Pivotal Software, Inc.).

Regards,
-=e
