Several ASF projects hosted a booth last week at Open Chain and Friends in Stuttgart, Germany. https://buff.ly/nhVWHUY At the event over 300 participants got introduced to Apache projects NuttX RTOS, PLC4X and Airflow by Alin Jerpelea and Christofer Dutz. The NuttX RTOS presentation introduced the project to the Automotive audience and illustrated the benefits of an ROTS focused on standards and compliance.

The ASF thrives because of the individuals who contribute their time, expertise, and leadership across its global community. Our Plus One People blog series aims to showcase these people and highlight the work they are doing to create software for the public good. We're excited to have spoken with Jean-Baptiste Onofré about his journey into open source, the work he is doing within the Apache ecosystem, and what trends he believes will shape the future of open collaboration.
