The Apache Software Foundation

We consider ourselves not simply a group of projects sharing a server, but rather a community of developers and users.

The Apache Software Foundation provides support for the Apache community of open-source software projects, which provide software products for the public good.

The Apache projects are defined by collaborative consensus based processes, an open, pragmatic software license and a desire to create high quality software that leads the way in its field.

The ASF is made up of over 100 top level projects that cover a wide range of technologies. Chances are if you are looking for a rewarding experience in Open Source, you are going to find it here.

• Apache Forrest

  Aggregated multi-channel documentation framework, separation of concerns.

  Apache Forrest™ software is a publishing framework that transforms input from various sources into a unified presentation in one or more output formats. The modular and extensible plug-in architecture of Apache Forrest is based on Apache Cocoon and the relevant industry standards that separate presentation from content. Forrest can generate static documents, or be used as a dynamic server, or be deployed by its automated facility.

• Apache Qpid

  AMQP enterprise messaging implementation.

  Apache Qpid implements the latest AMQP specification, the first open standard for enterprise messaging, and provides transaction management, queuing, distribution, security, management, clustering, federation and heterogeneous multi-platform support and a lot more.

• Apache Tika

  The Apache Tika toolkit detects and extracts metadata and structured text content from various documents using existing parser libraries.

  The Apache Tika toolkit is an ASFv2 licensed open source tool for extracting information from digital documents. Tika allows search engines, content management systems and other applications that work with various kinds of digital documents to easily detect and extract metadata and content from all major file formats.
