open source blockchain Apache Project Hyperledger software foundations

In this great OpenSource.com article, Brian Behlendorf talks about starting Apache, the tension between pragmatism and idealism, and why he’s excited about blockchain:

Brian Behlendorf is perhaps best known for being a co-founder of the Apache Project, which became the Apache Software Foundation. Today, he's the executive director of the Hyperledger Foundation, an organization focused on enterprise-grade, open source, distributed ledgers (better known as blockchains). He also says he "put the first ad banner online and have been apologizing ever since."

In a recentconversation on my podcast, Behlendorf talks about the goals of the Apache Project, the role of foundations generally, and his hopes for blockchain.
