I would agree with that hypothesis. What I've observed from running http://www.Apache.com http://www.Apache.com for several years, is indeed an older crowd (40+) by a nice margin compared to a lot of the younger projects floating around that are generating a ton of buzz. It's been much more rare in my experience to see a 20 something hipster programmer seriously diving in with the ASF. I'm generalizing though of course... The type of questions and people I interact with through that project are older engineering types, and those with a long history in the programming and computer scene. Usually with an old-school *nix approach to things. Just wanted to chime in with that, since like stated elsewhere in the HN comments, I think this blog post is more about the organization structure and members of the ASF than the actual Apache Web Server project... which we all love so dearly. ;) - Chase
