Keynote: State of the Feather
summary
Apache is growing steadily not exploding, with 684 ASF members, 181 active PMCs and 59 podlings in the queue; project count rises roughly linearly while more stale projects are being retired. Governance emphasizes strict equality, vendor neutrality and incubation criteria rather than corporate control, and operational tools include the Whimsy project and standard incubation reviews. The foundation runs a planned deficit but holds more than a year of reserves, prompting work on sponsor ROI and sustainable funding.
