While I was on vacation last week, one of my “side projects” at Talend actually finished as Talend is now a Sponsor of the Apache Software Foundation.
This has been something I’ve been trying to push through for quite a while. Talend (and a lot of companies) get a lot of value from the projects produced at Apache. Becoming a sponsor and supporting the Foundation financially is something I really think is a great way to acknowledge that value and help the keep the projects and the Foundation moving forward.
Anyway, I’m really glad this finally happened.
