Apache軟件基金會慶祝15年的開放源碼創新和社區的領導地位
【Apache軟件基金會慶祝15年的開放源碼創新和社區的領導地位
】這個以Brian Behlendorf收集補丁應用到NCSA http服務器最新版起家，到成立基金會，到現在已過15載，總是處于今天幾十個業界技術和工具前列。幾乎每個終端計算設備至少有一種Apache產品。
時間線和主要事件：
Highlights: pre-1999
Brian Behlendorf started collecting patches to
be applied to the last version of the NCSA http server. The Apache Group,
consisting of 8 individuals, traded patches on a mailing list set up for the
purpose. In April of 1995 the first public release of Apache (version 0.6.2)
came out. Apache 1.0 released on December 1, 1995, and within a year surpassed
NCSA as the most-used Web server.
Highlights: 2000
Perl-Apache Project, as well as Apache PHP,
Apache/TCL Project, and Apache Portable Runtime Project are established. Apache
Struts, Batik, FOP, and Ant undergo "incubation". The ASF draws record
attendance at the second ApacheCon in Orlando (the first-ever conference was
held in San Francisco in 1998), and launches its first European event in London
later that year.
Apache Avalon, Commons, and Jetspeed/Portals undergo "incubation". Work begins on next version of the Apache License. The fourth ApacheCon is held in Santa Clara, where the ASF maxim of "Community Over Code" is widespread and collaborators meet in person for the very first time. The ASF receives the Internet Service Providers Association's Internet Industry Awards for "Best Software Supplier" Apache XML's Xalan-Java 1.2.2 is a finalist in the Best Java-XML Application category in the JavaWorld Editors' Choice Awards.

Perl-Apache Project is renamed to the Apache Perl Project, and Cocoon becomes a Top Level Project. The sixth ApacheCon is held in Las Vegas, featuring an expo exchange with COMDEX. The Apache HTTP Server wins Best Server Software by Linux Format; Apache Ant wins Software Development Magazine Jolt Product Excellence and Productivity Award, the Java Pro Readers' Choice Award for Most Valuable Java Deployment Technology, as well as the JavaWorld Editors' Choice Award for "Most Useful Java Community-Developed Technology". JavaWorld also awards Apache Xerces-J Editors' Choice for "Best Java XML Tool". SpamAssassin wins the OSDir Editor's Choice Award.

infringement in Geronimo. The PHP project amicably separates from The ASF,
granting all rights and responsibilities pertaining to its codebases to the PHP
Group. ApacheCon returns to Las Vegas for its seventh conference. Apache Ant
wins the Java Developer's Journal "Editors' Choice Award".
