Community-Developed Projects Play Key Role in Growing Influence and Meeting Demand for Innovative Open Source Technologies

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 12 /PRNewswire/—The Apache Software Foundation
(ASF) – stewards, incubators, and developers of leading Open Source projects,
including the Apache HTTP Server, the world’s most popular Web server software
for ten years running – reflects on its activities and milestones achieved
during 2005.

“We are honored to be the trusted resource that the community looks to for
leadership in Open Source software development. Our growth in the past year
is testament to our long-standing commitment to collaboration among our
diverse contributor base and our extended community. We are pleased to
announce more than two dozen project updates over the course of 2005,” said
ASF Chairman Greg Stein.

In addition to the Apache HTTP Server, recognized ASF projects include
Ant, Axis Web Services, Derby, Forrest, Geronimo, James, Lenya, Lucene, Maven,
mod_perl, MyFaces, Tomcat, SpamAssassin, Struts, Tapestry, and Xerces – from
the core basics to in-demand solutions such as scalable Internet
architectures, Cocoon, DB, Jakarta, and XML. All software developed within
the ASF is free to download, use, modify, and distribute under the Open Source
Apache License.

“We will continue to champion the innovation, implementation, and
integration of freely available enterprise-grade software that meets the most
rigorous demands of our community,” added Stein. “Our consistent achievements
are testament to the strengths of our community-centric development model.”
