About Apache Software Foundation

The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) is a charitable body in the United States that has given open source projects a neutral home since 1999.

  • Incubator: the route by which new projects join the foundation and learn its way of governing itself.
  • Legal framework: handles intellectual property and contributions, with software released under the Apache License.
  • Shared infrastructure: issue trackers, mailing lists and a route for disclosing security problems.
  • Events: Community Over Code conferences, including Glasgow and Sydney in 2026, plus community-run days such as Lakehouse Day.
