The Apache Software Foundation's "Apache Way" continues to gain momentum, recognition and influence on the future of open source technologies
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.
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

championing the collaborative development of consensus-driven, enterprise-grade
solutions.
