Become a sponsor to Jarek Potiuk
I am an engineer with long time experience in various technologies and languages. With almost all the projects I've been involved with, I was focusing on making developers working on those projects more efficient, making sure that they are focusing on what is important - i.e. developing their software, while trying to make all the - absolutely necessary - "surrounding" stuff as development environments, continuous integration, release automation mostly invisible but extremely useful.
I am a big fan (and recently a member of) the Apache Software Foundation. The focus they put on individuals, not organisations making an impact and the philosophy the ASF has is very close to my heart and soul.
I am on the mission to make ASF projects more approachable, more open, easier to contribute to and more "professional" in their approach of tooling, development environment, CI, releases.
While I am an engineer, my background is much more than just engineering. I understand and praise the "community over code" motto and I know that it is most important to have a great community. I engaged in many aspects of the community - starting from taking part and leading discussions, managing discussions to reach consensus, organizing workshops and recording videos for newcomers, and finally being an organizer of events and conferences. I have a history of organizing big, international events for the community of engineers and designers - MCE (5 years) MCE Videos and Airflow Summit: https://airflowsummit.org/
Disclaimers:
This campaign is done by me, Jarek Potiuk, as an independent individual, not by the Apache Software Foundation nor the Apache Airflow project. I'm not representing the Foundation in any way in this campaign, nor does Apache endorse it. The Foundation has a policy of not paying for development work. All its members are
voluntary, me included. Any code I'll write or change will have to pass the usual Airflow team approval process. If this campaign isn't funded, I'll continue participating in the Airflow project and other projects in the same way as before.
13 sponsors have funded potiuk’s work.
I'd love to get 15 sponsors. It is likely impossible to focus on more than few projects at the same time, and I bet that every project has at least 1-2 serious stakeholders and at least few users who appreciate my work and would love to thank for my work, so having a goal of 15 is pretty good idea.
