The ASF has loudly complained about Oracle, and left the Java Community Process in November of last year. Of course, the OO.org community isn't the only strained relationship here. "I've already contacted the Document Foundation, which sponsors LibreOffice, with hopes that we can work together to benefit the existing community, as well as really grow the community at large: both developers and users." He says that makes Apache the perfect place to "help 'repair' the community" around. Apache OFBiz is likely the best example." In fact, Jagielski says what is "typical" for Apache is "building (or even "re-building") communities around those codebases." "Although Apache is mostly known for server-side code (either complete servers, middle-ware, libraries, etc.) we do have some client-side and userland projects. Still, doesn't seem just a bit out of place here? Jagielski says no. The ASF is best known for project like the ubiquitous Apache HTTP server - but Apache is home to dozens of projects. To get a bit more information about the hand-off, I checked in with Apache Software Foundation (ASF) president Jim Jagielski.
The announcement yesterday that Oracle proposed as an Apache Incubator project was heavy on impact, but light on detail.
