summary
Argues that the Apache Community over Code rule requires deliberate investment not just releases, citing Apache Ignite donated by GridGain in 2015 and now at 300,000 downloads per month and top-five activity. Describes graduation via the Apache incubator with measurable criteria: contributor diversity, longevity, self-governance, mailing-list decision traces. Reports practical steps that work: hire and empower technical writers (some technical writers became committers), allocate enterprise support time to public user lists, and broker agreements with two major vendor contributors to avoid fragmentation.
