`
`The mission of the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) is to provide software for the public good. We
`do this by providing services and support for many for like-minded software project communities of
`individuals.
`
`What is the ASF?
`
`The Apache Software Foundation, a US 501(3)(c) non-profit corporation, provides organizational, legal,
`and financial support for a broad range of over 140 open source software projects. The Foundation
`provides an established framework for intellectual property and financial contributions that
`simultaneously limits potential legal exposure for our project committers. Through a collaborative and
`meritocratic development process known as The Apache Way, Apache™ projects deliver enterprise-
`grade, freely available software products that attract large communities of users. The pragmatic Apache
`License makes it easy for all users, commercial and individual, to deploy Apache products.
`
`How did the ASF and Apache™ projects grow?
`
`Formerly known as the Apache Group, the ASF was incorporated in 1999 as a membership-based, not-
`for-profit corporation in order to ensure that the Apache projects continue to exist beyond the
`participation of individual volunteers. Individuals who have demonstrated a commitment to
`collaborative open-source software development, through sustained participation and contributions
`within the Foundation's projects, are eligible for membership in the ASF. An individual is awarded
`membership after nomination and approval by a majority of the existing ASF members. Thus, the ASF
`is governed by the community it most directly serves -- the people collaborating within its projects.

`
`The ASF members periodically elect a Board of Directors to manage the organizational affairs of the
`Foundation, as accorded by the ASF Bylaws. The Board, in turn, appoints a number of officers to
`oversee the day-to-day operations of the Foundation. A number of public records of our operation are
`made available to the community. A more detailed explanation of How the ASF works in terms of day
`to day operations is available, and the Apache Community Development project's goal is to help
`newcomers learn more about the Apache Software Foundation.
`
`Individual Apache projects are in turn governed directly by Project Management Committees (PMC)
`made up of individuals who have shown merit and leadership within those projects. There are detailed
`descriptions of ASF and project governance models.
`
`Who runs the ASF?
`
`The membership of the ASF elects the 9 member board to run the foundation and to set and ensure
`policy. The Board has appointed the following corporate officers of the ASF:
