| <p>FOREST HILL MD – 17 June 2008 – The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) |
| – stewards, incubators, and developers of leading Open Source projects |
| – today announced that both the organization's community and its |
| meritocratic process (known as "the Apache Way") continues to gain |
| recognition as one of the most influential, prominent, and innovative |
| leaders in Open Source.</p> |
| <p>A midyear review of the initiatives underway at the all-volunteer |
| Foundation showed that not only does the Apache HTTP Server continue to be |
| the world's most popular Web server software, but numerous ASF Projects |
| lead the way in Open Source technology, and the ASF community is also |
| playing a vital role in championing the collaborative development of |
| consensus-driven, enterprise-grade solutions.</p> |
| <p>"The demand for quality Open Source products continues to grow," said ASF |
| Chairman Jim Jagielski. "A significant number of organizations depend on |
| Apache-developed solutions. As the landscape continues to evolve, through |
| our thought leadership, well-established process, and ability to spearhead |
| new projects while maintaining an active, healthy community, we're poised |
| to successfully deliver software that meets the demands of the marketplace |
| and helps our users achieve their business goals."</p> |
| <p>The <a href="/">newly-redesigned ASF Website</a> reflects how the |
| Apache Way is realized through its new tagline, "Meritocracy in Action": |
| more than 1,500 ASF Committers and countless contributors and users |
| collaborate to the development of Apache-related activities across the Open |
| Source landscape. The ASF are responsible for millions of lines of code and |
| roughly one dozen servers comprising its infrastructure; nearly 500 |
| community-driven modules have been developed to extend functionality of the |
| Apache HTTP Server alone.</p> |
| <h3 id="2008-achievements-to-date">2008 ACHIEVEMENTS TO DATE<a class="headerlink" href="#2008-achievements-to-date" title="Permalink">¶</a></h3> |
| <p><strong>Board</strong> : The ASF recently held its Members' Meeting that included the |
| election of the following Members to the ASF Board of Directors: Bertrand |
| Delacretaz, Justin Erenkrantz, J. Aaron Farr, Jim Jagielski, Geir Magnusson |
| Jr., William Rowe Jr., Sam Ruby, Henning Schmiedehausen, and Greg Stein.</p> |
| <p>The annually-elected ASF Board oversees the management of the Foundation; |
| in turn, the Board appoints a set of officers to manage the day-to-day |
| operations and oversee ASF Projects and initiatives.</p> |
| <p><strong>Membership</strong> : The founding 21 individuals who oversaw the development of |
| the Apache HTTP Server formed the Foundation's core membership. The group |
| grew with the addition of "Committers": developers who contributed code, |
| patches, or documentation, and were subsequently granted access by the |
| Membership to: 1) "commit" or "write" directly to the code repository; 2) |
| to vote on community-related decisions; and 3) propose an active user for |
| Committership. Committers who demonstrate merit in the Foundation's growth, |
| evolution, and progress are nominated for ASF Membership by existing |
| members.</p> |
| <p>The ASF as a whole, including its Board, Officers, Members, and Committers, |
| is composed of individuals participating solely on behalf of the |
| Foundation. Whilst corporations are unable to qualify for Membership, those |
| contributing to ASF projects who are employed by corporate entities are |
| able to participate in ASF activities during "work time", but are expected |
| to act as individuals, independent of their employer, unless stated |
| otherwise under very specific circumstances. A key strength of the ASF is |
| that affiliations do not cloud personal contributions – a prescript that |
| applies to all Members.</p> |
| <p>The recent ASF Membership vote closed with the election of 17 new Members, |
| totaling 276.</p> |
| <p><strong>Sponsorship</strong> : The ASF is a private, 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable |
| organization, funded solely through tax-deductible contributions from |
| corporations, foundations, and individuals. To help offset day-to-day |
| operating expenses, The ASF created its Sponsorship Program in late 2006. |
| The Foundation welcomed two new sponsors:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <p>Silver Level: IONA Technologies (NASDAQ: IONA)</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>Bronze Level: Matt Mullenweg</p> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>… to the following organizations and individuals whose generous |
| contributions continue to help advance the work of The ASF:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <p>Platinum Level: Google (NASDAQ: GOOG), Yahoo! (NASDAQ: YHOO)</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>Gold Level: HP (NYSE: HPQ)</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>Silver Level: Covalent</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>Bronze Level: AirPlus International, Tetsuya Kitahata, and Two Sigma |
| Investments</p> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <p><strong>ApacheCon</strong> : Now in its tenth year, the official user and developer |
| conference, trainings, and expo of The Apache Software Foundation continues |
| to explore some of the hottest topics in Open Source. The continued |
| interest and increased adoption of Open Source technologies in Europe is |
| reflected in the success of ApacheCon Europe held in Amsterdam in April, |
| which boasted an increase in participation by 40%. ApacheCon US will be |
| held in New Orleans on 3-7 November 2008, and will feature several |
| enhancements to bring the Apache community of developers and users |
| together, including expanded tracks, more Fast Feather presentations, the |
| OFBiz Symposium (a dedicated "track" to the Apache Open For Business |
| Project's suite of enterprise applications), as well as CampApache (a |
| one-day, ad-hoc gathering with discussions, demos and interaction from |
| participants to share and learn in an open environment).</p> |
| <p><strong>Community Outreach</strong> : For the third consecutive year, the ASF is |
| participating in the Google Summer of Code. As part of its ongoing |
| mentorship on "the Apache Way", 32 ASF representatives have paired up with |
| student developers from Algeria, Austria, Brazil, China, Croatia, France, |
| India, Hungary, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Russia, Sri Lanka, the |
| Ukraine, and the United States for the opportunity to collaborate on 78 |
| different tasks using Apache Projects such as Axis2, Cayenne, Derby, |
| Harmony, ODE, Roller, Sling, Solr, Tuscany, and Xerces2-J, as well as |
| several projects in the Apache Incubator.</p> |
| <p>In addition, the Foundation had participated in the Google Highly Open |
| Participation (GHOP) Contest, which concluded in February. This initiative |
| tasked nearly 400 pre-university students worldwide to produce a variety of |
| Open Source code, documentation, training materials and user experience |
| research for ten participating organizations, including the ASF. Spencer |
| Davis, GHOP Grand Prize winner chosen from the ASF's student contestants, |
| will be joined by Bertrand Delacretaz, GHOP project administrator for the |
| ASF, at the competition’s awards ceremony in July.</p> |
| <p><strong>Project Achievements</strong> : With just two Projects (Apache HTTP Server, and |
| the ApacheCon Conference Planning committee) at its inception, The ASF |
| today comprises 62 Top-Level Projects (TLPs), 24 projects under Incubation |
| (comprising both the codebase and its community, known as Podlings), and 20 |
| active initiatives registered in the Apache Labs.</p> |
| <p>Each ASF Project is managed by a self-selected team of technical experts |
| who actively contribute to the project according to the guidelines for |
| collaborative development best suited to that particular project. The |
| day-to-day activity of each TLP (and any sub-projects) is overseen by |
| Project Management Committees (PMCs).</p> |
| <p>For twelve years running, the Apache HTTP Server remains the #1 Web server, |
| powering more than 75 million Websites across the Internet, according to |
| the Netcraft May 2008 Web Server Survey. In addition, the 1 June Web Server |
| Survey by Security Space shows that Apache continues to hold 74% market |
| penetration across all Web Server domains.</p> |
| <p>Both Incubating- and sub-projects continue to go from strength to strength. |
| The following initiatives have graduated to ASF Top-Level Projects (TLPs):</p> |

| <p><strong>Recognition and Awards</strong> : The ASF continues to garner ongoing |
| recognition by editors, technical experts, writers, analysts, and other |
| industry influencers. The "buzz" generated by many of The ASF's Projects |
| are testament to its innovation and leadership within the Open Source |
| community. Recent awards include:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <p>Java Community Process (JCP) Member of the Year The ASF won its third |
| Member of the Year prize awarded by the JCP Program Management Office. Geir |
| Magnusson, Vice President of the ASF JCP committee and JCP Executive |
| Committee member, accepted this prestigious award on behalf of the ASF at |
| the JCP Spec Lead Dinner on 6 May. "The ASF has been active and engaged |
| since the beginning, with wide participation at both the EC level and in |
| projects, as members of Expert Groups," said Magnusson in his acceptance |
| speech.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>InfoWorld BOSSIE Award: Apache SpamAssassin won the InfoWorld "Best Of |
| Open Source Software" BOSSIE Award, as the winner in the anti-spam |
| category. According to InfoWorld "Our Bossie winner for anti-spam is the |
| ubiquitous SpamAssassin. Powerful, extensible, and effective, SpamAssassin |
| uses a trainable neural network engine to identify spam and minimize false |
| positives, in addition to the classic techniques of blacklisting and |
| Bayesian filtering."</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>Eclipse Community Award: Apache Directory Studio Apache Directory Studio |
| finishes as runner-up for Best Open Source RCP Application at the Eclipse |
| Community Awards announced on 18 March at EclipseCon. Earlier that week, |

| version 1.1.0 Apache Directory Studio, its Eclipse based LDAP Browser and |
| Directory client.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>JAX Innovation Award: Apache Sling Barely six months under incubation, |
| Apache Sling – the Web framework that uses a Java Content Repository, |
| such as Apache Jackrabbit, to store and manage content – won a JAX |
| Innovation Award on 25 April. The award was accepted on behalf of the |
| project by Committers Carsten Ziegeler and Felix Meschberger, who were |
| excited to spread the word that Apache Sling is "bringing back the fun (to |
| Java development)!"</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>SD Times 100: Influencers; Application Servers The ASF topped the |
| Software Development (SD) Times 100 list of Industry Influencers for the |
| third year running. The sixth edition of these coveted awards was published |
| on 2 June in recognition of the organizations or individuals that have |
| demonstrated innovation and leadership in their markets. "Apache stayed on |
| top of its game, continuing to offer enterprise-class sever software at a |
| price not even Microsoft could match," stated the SD Times, bestowing |
| Apache its third server award, highlighting Apache Geronimo powering |
| proprietary server solutions, and Apache Tomcat as the most popular Java |
| application server.</p> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>Users and developers interested in becoming involved with any of the above |
| initiatives are invited to download software, join mailing lists, submit |
| patches/bug fixes/documentation, and offer feedback through the Projects |
| listed on the ASF Website.</p> |
