Apache Software Foundation News & Articles

The Apache Lucene Connector Framework (LCF) has reached the next stage toward becoming an official Apache (news, site) project.

This year, ApacheCon US returns to the San Francisco Bay Area -- the home of the Apache Software Foundation, which celebrates its 10th birthday in 2009. The conference will span over several days (November 2-6) and promises to be an “exciting celebration” of a decade of great coding, while offering a peek into the future of Open Source.

This conference should be like no other ApacheCon before with a feast of BarCamps, Get Togethers, featured tracks, evening events and a birthday bash to celebrate and acknowledge the achievements of the ASF committers and members. Another perk is that this year’s conference is cheaper and offers many free sessions to get you out of that bad economy blues.

Without the web, there would be no web content management systems. Some might say that without the Apache web server, the web as it is today either might not exist, or may have taken a very different direction.

A shining example of the innovation and value provided by open source projects, ten years ago the Apache Software Foundation was formed by the same people that brought us the Apache web server.
