| about anything Apache, see the <a href="/dev/">/dev documentation</a> or the |
| <a href="http://community.apache.org/">Community Development project</a>.</p> |

| <p>The official developer and user conference of the ASF (see the |
| <a href="http://ApacheCon.Com/">ApacheCon Web site</a> ).</p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt id="Artifact">Artifact<a class="headerlink" href="#Artifact" title="Permalink">¶</a></dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>A file which is created as the outcome of a process, typically the |
| release preparation process.</p> |

| <p>The Apache Software Foundation, a non-profit organization.</p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt id="Attic">Attic<a class="headerlink" href="#Attic" title="Permalink">¶</a></dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>A location for discontinued, abandoned, and retired |
| <a href="#Codebase">codebases</a> and <a href="#Project">projects</a>. The |
| <a href="http://attic.apache.org">Apache Attic project</a> |
| preserves the information for posterity, reference, and potential |
| future re-activation, while keeping it clearly distinct from active |
| work.</p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt id="Board">Board<a class="headerlink" href="#Board" title="Permalink">¶</a></dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>The nine-person legal governing body of the ASF, elected by the |
| <a href="#Member">members</a>. The board provides the oversight of the |
| Foundation's activities and operation, and applies and enforces the ASF's <a href="#Bylaws">bylaws</a>. Among other |
| things, the board approves or rejects resolutions brought before it, |
| such as for the creation or dissolution of ASF <a href="#Project">projects</a> , |
| funding requests, legal concerns, and disciplinary actions. As an open |
| and non-profit corporation, the ASF makes the minutes of board meetings publicly available at |
| <a href="/foundation/records/minutes/">http://www.apache.org/foundation/records/minutes/</a>. |
| These minutes include all decisions not made in <a href="#ExecutiveSession">executive |
| sessions</a>. Also see <a href="#Director">Director</a>.</p> |

| <dt id="Bikeshed">Bikeshed Argument<a class="headerlink" href="#Bikeshed" title="Permalink">¶</a></dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>Arguing (pointlessly) about which color to paint the bikeshed. As |
| explained <a href="http://www.unixguide.net/freebsd/faq/16.19.shtml">here</a> it |

| to have an opinion, and want to see theirs prevail.</p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt id="Build">Build<a class="headerlink" href="#Build" title="Permalink">¶</a></dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>A <strong>Build</strong> is a package which is not suitable for distribution to the |
| general public. Builds are works-in-progress, and should only be available to people working on product |
| development at the Foundation.</p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt id="Bylaws">Bylaws<a class="headerlink" href="#Bylaws" title="Permalink">¶</a></dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>Bylaws are a codification of the rules that an organisation follows. |
| Some, such as the <a href="/foundation/bylaws.html">ASF bylaws</a>, are legally |
| binding and have significance outside the organisation. Others, such |
| as the <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/site/management.html">Jakarta bylaws</a>, are only |
| meaningful within the <a href="#Community">community</a> and are only as binding |
| as the community itself makes them. The bylaws of an organisation |
| within the ASF may not contradict those of the ASF proper; any such |
| conflicting parts in the organisation bylaws are necessarily null and |
| void.</p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt id="Chair">Chair<a class="headerlink" href="#Chair" title="Permalink">¶</a></dt> |

| the <a href="#ASF">ASF</a>, responsible for the orderly meeting and functioning |
| of the Board. |
| <strong>2.</strong> The official head of a committee, such as a |
| Project Management Committee <a href="#PMC">PMC</a>. PMC Chairs are ASF |
