This wiki is used for Apache Local Community (ALC).

About ALC

ALC comprises local groups of Apache (Open Source) enthusiasts, called an 'ALC Chapter'. 
There will be a single ALC chapter per town/city.

ALC is similar to Google Developer Group, Facebook Developer Circles, Mozilla Reps.

ALC Roles and Responsibilities

• Spread awareness on Apache in local communities.
• Host various events for local open source enthusiasts that include students, developers, and the business community.
• Share information about ASF, The Apache Way, and various Apache  projects.
• Bring together project users and developers.

Benefits of ALC

• will open the doors for having frequent and small events for the local Open Source community.
• will provide a platform for different project committers from the same town/city to meet and exchange knowledge, thoughts, and ideas.
• will help build and expand communities, as the Apache maxim "Community Over Code"

How to apply to setup ALC Chapter

If ALC chapter doesn't exist in your location and you are interested in setting up the ALC Chapter in your area (town/city), please send a message to  dev@community.apache.org with "[ALC] Request to setup ALC in <name-of-your-town-or-city>" in the subject line.

There will be a single ALC chapter per town/city, so please check the ALC Chapters to see if there’s an existing chapter in your location.

Code of conduct

The ALC members should follow the Apache code of conduct, for details please refer https://www.apache.org/foundation/policies/conduct.html

If any ALC Chapter is inactive for 6 month, it will be dissolved after communication with members of that ALC chapter because we are having strictly one ALC chapter in a town/city.

The ALC Chapter shares the status report to ComDev in every three months.
The report includes details on the activities performed by ALC Chapter and it's impact.

ALC Resources

ALC Resources wiki is used for managing the information and resources (presentations, media, etc.) that will be helpful for ALC chapters.

Addition information

Just to avoid any confusion, ALC is not about holding a monthly committer meetup, but rather creating a local group of Apache enthusiasts. It is not mandatory to have Apache committers to form an ALC chapter, if they are present, it will be helpful for that ALC chapter.
