Established in 1999, The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) is the world’s
largest Open Source foundation, stewarding 227M+ lines of code and providing
more than $20B+ worth of software to the public at 100% no cost. The ASF’s
all-volunteer community grew from 21 original founders overseeing the Apache
HTTP Server to 813 individual Members and 206 Project Management Committees who
