“Money can’t buy everything, especially when it comes to freely available open source software from the Apache Software Foundation. The ASF is now celebrating its 10th anniversary as a non-profit foundation that has grown from its initial project, the Apache HTTP Web Server, to more than 60 projects today. The Apache HTTP Web Server remains the most widely deployed Web server today, with more than 42 million active sites, according to the latest data from research firm Netcraft. At the ApacheCon conference today, pioneers of the ASF talked about their experiences at the trail-blazing open source foundation. They also outlined why the ASF remains relevant today, and why money doesn’t buy many favors.”
ASF could put a J in their name to reflect the fact that their vast majority of projects are focused on Java.
