Jarek Potiuk is an Apache Software Foundation member, long-time Apache Airflow committer and PMC member, and a contributor to the ASF Security team's ecosystem-wide tooling efforts. He has spent the last several years working on the human side of open-source scale — release management, security triage, contributor onboarding — and most recently on apache-magpie, a shared framework that lets ASF projects adopt AI-assisted skills without giving up the principles of the Apache Way. He believes maintainers' time is the scarcest resource in open source.
Session
This talk addresses how we attempt to manage the changes to Open Source Maintainership resulting from the Agentic AI approach within the Apache Software Foundation. The Apache Way is About People — AI should free maintainers to do stuff that matters, not replace them; it should empower maintainers in the Age of AI.
