The Apache Software Foundation Continues To Grow Open-Source Software



Open-source in 2019 is commonplace and serves as the foundation for much of modern IT infrastructure, including the cloud - but it wasn't entirely that way in 1999.
20 years ago the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) got started as a group to help organize and support open-source project efforts. According to the ASF, it now provides over $20 billion worth of software at no cost, under an open-source model. The ASF in 2019 helps to manage and incubate over 350 open-source projects and initiatives as it continues to deliver on its founding vision.
"What started before the term 'Open Source' was coined has now grown to support hundreds of projects, thousands of contributors and millions of users," said Phil Steitz, Chairman of The Apache Software Foundation, wrote in a media advisory. "The Apache Way has shown itself to be incredibly resilient in the wake of the many changes in software and technology over the last twenty years."
