Keynote: Training Our Team in the Apache Way
summary
Hortonworks formalizes Apache education after growing from 25 to over 1,150 people, replacing informal mentoring with a 45-minute curriculum plus a boot-camp module, role-specific runs for devs, QE, docs, PM and support, and ongoing marketing review. It reports broadly positive feedback, clearer role mapping for non-coders, and avoidance of past mistakes. Next steps are an FAQ, an internal Apache Q&A mailing list and a set of scrubbed SlideShare slides for reuse and recorded sessions for wider roll-out.
