The Apache Software Foundation provides support for the Apache
community of open-source software projects. The Apache projects are
characterized by a collaborative, consensus based development process,
an open and pragmatic software license, and a desire to create high
quality software that leads the way in its field. We consider
ourselves not simply a group of projects sharing a server, but rather
a community of developers and users.
You are invited to participate in The Apache Software Foundation. Our membership consists of those individuals
who have demonstrated a commitment to collaborative open-source software
development through sustained participation and contributions within the
Foundation's projects. Of course, you can contribute to the foundation in many
ways:
If you would like to keep up with news and announcements from the
foundation and all its projects, you can subscribe to the new

Announcements List.
Remember that ApacheCon US 2005
will be held in San Diego, California on December 10-14, 2005. ApacheCon US
will offer a wide spectrum of top-quality sessions, as well as two days with
full- and half-day tutorials.
Please make plans to join
us in San Diego.
The Apache Software Foundation would like to express its
condolences to the family and friends of Nicolas Chalumeau, who passed
away on the 4th of October at the age of 27. Vincent Massol has
written a tribute
to our friend, colleague, and Apache committer.
