Biggest mistake EVER. The Apache Foundation DOES NOT redistribute any money to actual contributors.
All money donated to Apache gets spend on their own infrastructure and salaries, etc.
- nicce 5y ago> own infrastructure and salaries Don't they contribute for the development? Or for what is that salary.
- xunn0026 5y agoSalary for infrastructure admins, etc. Nothing goes to actual development on projects. https://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html https://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html > All participants in ASF projects are volunteers and nobody (not even members or officers) is paid directly by the foundation to do their job. There are many examples of committers who are paid to work on projects, but never by the foundation itself. Mind you, the download mirrors are also free...
- kiney 5y agosame problem with wikipedia / wikimedia foundation
- dralley 5y agoBut wikipedia, being a top 10 website, does have significant infrastructure costs.
- nielsole 5y agoWikipedia only has two edits per second[1] and is mostly cacheable. If one wanted to, Wikipedia could be run with a minimal infra cost [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Statistics https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Statistics
