Summary

Apache Software Foundation's (ASF) unique approach to open source software development has resulted in several de facto standards for Web applications. ASF established the Apache Incubator project to support communities of developers involved in new projects and working with new technologies. The technologies at the core of many current Incubator projects promise to be useful to application development professionals implementing service-oriented architecture (SOA). Significant new projects will enable open source SOAs. Many of these build on existing ASF projects as well as open source software developed outside of ASF. ASF assures sufficient coordination among projects through the active participation by committers on multiple projects. Products based Apache's SOA technologies will reach the market through third parties.
