Benefits of ALC

• We have limited ApacheCon and Roadshow, the ALC will open the doors for having frequent and small events for the local Open Source community.
• It will be provide a platform for different project committers from different projects (living in the same town/city ) to meet and exchange knowledge, thoughts, and ideas.Currently, it happens the committer of one Apache project doesn't know much about the committer from another project (both belongs to the same town ;)Building community, as the Apache maxim "Community Over Code"
• 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 follow the steps mentioned in Process to establish an ALC Chapter document.

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.

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 month3 months, it will be dissolved after communication with members of that ALC chapter and PMC votes because we are having strictly one ALC chapter in a town/city. Here more details on Process to dissolve an ALC Chapter.

The ALC Chapter shares the status report to ComDev in every three months.

ALC Resources

Additional information

Just to avoid any confusion, ALC is not about the committers holding a monthly meetup.ALC is committer meetup, but rather creating a local group of Apache enthusiast (enthusiasts. It is not mandatory to be or have Apache committers to form an ALC chapter, however if they are present, there are Apache committers available to participate and share their experience then it will be helpful for that ALC chapter).
