All Rights Reserved Houston, we have a problem In 5 years went from a company of 25 to > 1000 – engineering grew from 22 to ~300 Original engineers and corporate leaders understood the Apache way Depended on osmosis to train new team members What works in a company of 25 does not work in a company of 1000+ Apache has ways to train new community members and new communities – e.g. the Incubator We realized that we were not getting knowledge out quickly enough to new team members – Particularly those not directly contributing to Apache (managers, marketing, ...) – Even some of our engineering teams were growing so quickly they were struggling to pass on the Apache culture effectively
