The Apache Software Foundation provides support for the Apache
community of open-source software projects. The Apache projects are
characterized by a collaborative, consensus based development process,
an open and pragmatic software license, and a desire to create high
quality software that leads the way in its field. We consider
ourselves not simply a group of projects sharing a server, but rather
a community of developers and users.
You are invited to participate in The Apache Software Foundation. Our membership consists of those individuals
who have demonstrated a commitment to collaborative open-source software
development through sustained participation and contributions within the
Foundation's projects. Of course, you can contribute to the foundation in many
ways:
If you would like to keep up with news and announcements from the
foundation and all its projects, you can subscribe to the new
Apache
Announcements List.
ApacheCon will be held from November 14 to 17 in Las Vegas. Come
share your knowledge of Apache software at this educational and
fun-filled gathering of Apache users, vendors, and friends. Deadline
for submissions: Friday, July 23. For more information, visit the ApacheCon
website.

Apache HTTP Server: Dialtone of the World Wide Web
The Apache Software Foundation is commemorating eight
uninterrupted, consecutive years of web server market leadership. A
continuation of the early NCSA httpd project, the Apache Software
Foundation's HTTP Server has
been the leading web server platform since 1996. Founded as a
collaborative effort aimed at creating a robust, commercial grade,
standards-compliant, and feature-rich HTTP server, we are thrilled
that the worldwide Internet community has embraced open source as a
viable model for software product development. Our achievement is
testament to the benefits of the process of open source software
development itself.
