+Founded in June 1999 by the Apache Group, the Foundation has been
+incorporated as a membership-based, not-for-profit corporation in order

+You are invited to participate in The Apache Software Foundation. We welcome

+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
