The Apache Way™ is an incredible process for developing software as good or better than any other software development methodology. While we do a great job producing software that powers the Internet we often don’t do everything we can do to promote that technology, encourage new users and get more awareness of the work we do. This talk will outline considerations for how to promote a project and track progress and drive adoption to help insure the viability of the project and sell your boss on how to allow him to invest more of your time and company resources to help develop your Apache project.

If you write the code for the public good, make sure the public knows about it! • Is there or should there be a blueprint for Apache projects to promote their project just like development? • Crappy proprietary projects get used when no one knows about the cooler, faster, better Apache projects. • Am I off base?
