The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) maintains a number of boilerplates, or short paragraphs describing the ASF for use in releases or announcements of various kinds.

Third parties may not use the ASF boilerplate in releases without explicit permission.
Formal press releases on behalf of the ASF must use the long form of the press release boilerplate below, unless there is a specific reason to use the short form.
About The Apache Software Foundation (ASF)
Established in 1999, the all-volunteer Foundation oversees more than sixty-five leading Open Source projects, including Apache HTTP Server -- the world‘s most popular Web server software. Through The ASF’s meritocratic process known as “The Apache Way”, nearly 300 individual Members and 2,000 Committers successfully collaborate to develop freely available enterprise-grade software, benefiting millions of users worldwide: thousands of software solutions are distributed under the Apache License; and the community actively participates in ASF mailing lists, mentoring initiatives, and ApacheCon, the Foundation's official user conference, trainings, and expo. The ASF is funded by individual donations and corporate sponsors including Google, HP, Microsoft, Progress Software, SpringSource, and Yahoo!
