Senior🎓
Top SchoolShane Curcuru is a veteran founder and open source steward with 25 years of experience building governance, trademark, and community programs that scale volunteer-driven projects into sustainable public goods. As Chair and long-time Director at the Apache Software Foundation, he’s specialized in translating messy, volunteer energy into repeatable processes, clear documentation, and practical mentorship across 100+ projects. He now runs Punderthings Consulting to help organizations set up open source program offices, assess FOSS risk, and craft trademark strategies informed by nearly two decades of ASF brand leadership. A mechanical engineer by training who built early CI practices and high-performance XML tooling at Lotus and IBM, he blends deep technical chops with governance, event leadership, and a knack for making complex organizational change feel manageable. Off-stage he’s a pun-friendly family man and cat owner who only connects professionally with people he’s worked with in a material way.
