- The Apache HTTP Server Project
-
- http://httpd.apache.org/
-
- February 2002
-
-The Apache Project is a collaborative software development effort aimed
-at creating a robust, commercial-grade, featureful, and freely-available
-source code implementation of an HTTP (Web) server. The project is
-jointly managed by a group of volunteers located around the world, using
-the Internet and the Web to communicate, plan, and develop the server and
-its related documentation. These volunteers are known as the Apache Group.
-In addition, hundreds of users have contributed ideas, code, and
-documentation to the project. This file is intended to briefly describe
-the history of the Apache Group, recognize the many contributors, and
-explain how you can join the fun too.
-
-In February of 1995, the most popular server software on the Web was the
-public domain HTTP daemon developed by Rob McCool at the National Center
-for Supercomputing Applications, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.
-However, development of that httpd had stalled after Rob left NCSA in
-mid-1994, and many webmasters had developed their own extensions and bug
-fixes that were in need of a common distribution. A small group of these
-webmasters, contacted via private e-mail, gathered together for the purpose
-of coordinating their changes (in the form of "patches"). Brian Behlendorf
-and Cliff Skolnick put together a mailing list, shared information space,
-and logins for the core developers on a machine in the California Bay Area,
-with bandwidth and diskspace donated by HotWired and Organic Online.
-By the end of February, eight core contributors formed the foundation
-of the original Apache Group:
-
- Brian Behlendorf Roy T. Fielding Rob Hartill
- David Robinson Cliff Skolnick Randy Terbush
- Robert S. Thau Andrew Wilson
-
-with additional contributions from
-
- Eric Hagberg Frank Peters Nicolas Pioch
-
-Using NCSA httpd 1.3 as a base, we added all of the published bug fixes
-and worthwhile enhancements we could find, tested the result on our own
-servers, and made the first official public release (0.6.2) of the Apache
-server in April 1995. By coincidence, NCSA restarted their own development
-during the same period, and Brandon Long and Beth Frank of the NCSA Server
-Development Team joined the list in March as honorary members so that the
-two projects could share ideas and fixes.
-
-The early Apache server was a big hit, but we all knew that the codebase
-needed a general overhaul and redesign. During May-June 1995, while
-Rob Hartill and the rest of the group focused on implementing new features
-for 0.7.x (like pre-forked child processes) and supporting the rapidly growing
-Apache user community, Robert Thau designed a new server architecture
-(code-named Shambhala) which included a modular structure and API for better
-extensibility, pool-based memory allocation, and an adaptive pre-forking
-process model. The group switched to this new server base in July and added
-the features from 0.7.x, resulting in Apache 0.8.8 (and its brethren)
-in August.
-
-After extensive beta testing, many ports to obscure platforms, a new set
-of documentation (by David Robinson), and the addition of many features
-in the form of our standard modules, Apache 1.0 was released on
-December 1, 1995.
-
-Less than a year after the group was formed, the Apache server passed
-NCSA's httpd as the #1 server on the Internet.
-
-The survey by Netcraft (http://www.netcraft.com/survey/) shows that Apache
-is today more widely used than all other web servers combined.

-
-How to become involved in the Apache project
-
-There are several levels of contributing. If you just want to send
-in an occasional suggestion/fix, then you can just use the bug reporting
-form at <http://httpd.apache.org/bug_report.html>. You can also subscribe
-to the announcements mailing list (announce-subscribe@httpd.apache.org) which
-we use to broadcast information about new releases, bugfixes, and upcoming
-events. There's a lot of information about the development process (much of
-it in serious need of updating) to be found at <http://httpd.apache.org/dev/>.
-
-If you'd like to become an active contributor to the Apache project (the
-group of volunteers who vote on changes to the distributed server), then
-you need to start by subscribing to the dev@httpd.apache.org mailing list.
-One warning though: traffic is high, 1000 to 1500 messages/month.
-To subscribe to the list, send an email to dev-subscribe@httpd.apache.org.
-We recommend reading the list for a while before trying to jump in to
-development.
-
- NOTE: The developer mailing list (dev@httpd.apache.org) is not
- a user support forum; it is for people actively working on development
- of the server code and documentation, and for planning future
- directions. If you have user/configuration questions, send them
- to users list <http://httpd.apache.org/userslist> or to the USENET
- newsgroup "comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix".or for windows users,
- the newsgroup "comp.infosystems.www.servers.ms-windows".
-
-There is a core group of contributors (informally called the "core")
-which was formed from the project founders and is augmented from time
-to time when core members nominate outstanding contributors and the
-rest of the core members agree. The core group focus is more on
-"business" issues and limited-circulation things like security problems
-than on mainstream code development. The term "The Apache Group"
-technically refers to this core of project contributors.
-
-The Apache project is a meritocracy -- the more work you have done, the more
-you are allowed to do. The group founders set the original rules, but
-they can be changed by vote of the active members. There is a group
-of people who have logins on our server (apache.org) and access to the
-CVS repository. Everyone has access to the CVS snapshots. Changes to
-the code are proposed on the mailing list and usually voted on by active
-members -- three +1 (yes votes) and no -1 (no votes, or vetoes) are needed
-to commit a code change during a release cycle; docs are usually committed
-first and then changed as needed, with conflicts resolved by majority vote.
-
-Our primary method of communication is our mailing list. Approximately 40
-messages a day flow over the list, and are typically very conversational in
-tone. We discuss new features to add, bug fixes, user problems, developments
-in the web server community, release dates, etc. The actual code development
-takes place on the developers' local machines, with proposed changes
-communicated using a patch (output of a unified "diff -u oldfile newfile"
-command), and committed to the source repository by one of the core
-developers using remote CVS. Anyone on the mailing list can vote on a
-particular issue, but we only count those made by active members or people
-who are known to be experts on that part of the server. Vetoes must be
-accompanied by a convincing explanation.
-
-New members of the Apache Group are added when a frequent contributor is
-nominated by one member and unanimously approved by the voting members.
-In most cases, this "new" member has been actively contributing to the
-group's work for over six months, so it's usually an easy decision.
-
-The above describes our past and current (as of July 2000) guidelines,
-which will probably change over time as the membership of the group
-changes and our development/coordination tools improve.

-The Apache Software Foundation (www.apache.org)
-
-The Apache Software Foundation exists to provide organizational, legal,
-and financial support for the Apache open-source software projects.
-Founded in June 1999 by the Apache Group, the Foundation has been
-incorporated 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, to enable contributions of intellectual property
-and funds on a sound basis, and to provide a vehicle for limiting legal
-exposure while participating in open-source software projects.
-
-You are invited to participate in The Apache Software Foundation. We welcome
-contributions in many forms. 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. Many people and companies have contributed towards
-the success of the Apache projects.

-
-Why Apache Is Free
-
-Apache exists to provide a robust and commercial-grade reference
-implementation of the HTTP protocol. It must remain a platform upon which
-individuals and institutions can build reliable systems, both for
-experimental purposes and for mission-critical purposes. We believe the
-tools of online publishing should be in the hands of everyone, and
-software companies should make their money providing value-added services
-such as specialized modules and support, amongst other things. We realize
-that it is often seen as an economic advantage for one company to "own" a
-market - in the software industry that means to control tightly a
-particular conduit such that all others must pay. This is typically done
-by "owning" the protocols through which companies conduct business, at the
-expense of all those other companies. To the extent that the protocols of
-the World Wide Web remain "unowned" by a single company, the Web will
-remain a level playing field for companies large and small. Thus,
-"ownership" of the protocol must be prevented, and the existence of a
-robust reference implementation of the protocol, available absolutely for
-free to all companies, is a tremendously good thing.
-
-Furthermore, Apache is an organic entity; those who benefit from it
-by using it often contribute back to it by providing feature enhancements,
-bug fixes, and support for others in public newsgroups. The amount of
-effort expended by any particular individual is usually fairly light, but
-the resulting product is made very strong. This kind of community can
-only happen with freeware -- when someone pays for software, they usually
-aren't willing to fix its bugs. One can argue, then, that Apache's
-strength comes from the fact that it's free, and if it were made "not
-free" it would suffer tremendously, even if that money were spent on a
-real development team.
-
-We want to see Apache used very widely -- by large companies, small
-companies, research institutions, schools, individuals, in the intranet
-environment, everywhere -- even though this may mean that companies who
-could afford commercial software, and would pay for it without blinking,
-might get a "free ride" by using Apache. We would even be happy if some
-commercial software companies completely dropped their own HTTP server
-development plans and used Apache as a base, with the proper attributions
-as described in the LICENSE file.
-
-Thanks for using Apache!
