The Apache ServiceMix team is pleased to annouce the release of Apache
ServiceMix 4.0.
Download links and detailed release notes are available at
  http://servicemix.apache.org/smx4/servicemix-400.html

Apache ServiceMix 4.0 is the first release of our OSGi based
integration platform. It includes two major components:

   * Apache ServiceMix Kernel 1.1.0
     an OSGi runtime with a lot of extra features (SSH connectivity,
provisioning enhancements, Spring integration, ...)
   * Apache ServiceMix NMR 1.0.0
     an OSGi based NMR and JBI container, which also comes with a new
clustering engine ready for enterprise deployment

In addition, ServiceMix 4.0 also ships with enhanced ActiveMQ, Camel
and CXF integration as well as a whole set of
examples to let you leverage this functionality. We also have
out-of-the-box support for deploying and running web
applications, so they can run together with everything else in the
same container.

The Apache Archiva team is pleased to announce the release of Archiva 1.2

Apache Archiva is an extensible repository management software that helps taking care of your own personal or enterprise-wide build artifact repository. It is the perfect companion for build tools such as Maven, Continuum, and ANT.

Archiva offers several capabilities, amongst which remote repository proxying, security access management, build artifact storage, delivery, browsing, indexing and usage reporting, extensible scanning functionality... and many more!

The latest release is now available here:

The Apache Directory Team is very pleased to announce that Apache Directory Studio [1] is the winner of the Eclipse Community Awards 2009 [2] in the category Best Open Source RCP Application of the Technology Awards.

Developed as a sub-project of the Directory Top Level Project, Apache Directory Studio is an Eclipse RCP application that takes full advantage of the benefits inherent in the Eclipse platform. Composed of several Eclipse (OSGi) plugins, Apache Directory Studio can be easily upgraded with additional plugins. Apache Directory Studio plugins can even run within a full installation of Eclipse itself.

You can download Apache Directory Studio as a standalone RCP application for Mac OS X, Linux and Windows here:

Dear Friends of The Apache Software Foundation:

Exactly ten years ago, the highly dedicated members of the Apache Group decided to secure the future of the Apache HTTP Server by forming The Apache Software Foundation.

Since then, our globally distributed, all-volunteer membership has grown to exceed 300 individuals who represent some of the world's greatest talent in Open Source. In collaboration with more than 2,000 Committers from across six continents, the ASF oversees the development of 65 leading Open Source projects, including Apache HTTP Server — still the world’s most popular Web server software since its inception fifteen years ago.

We are very proud of our many achievements over the past years, and recognize that our success is testament to our community's deep commitment to meeting a critical need for high quality, freely available software. We are thankful to everyone who has contributed their time, energy and resources to help the ASF achieve so many successes, both internally and externally, by supporting the Open Source community through hundreds of mailing lists, as well as numerous mentoring and outreach activities.

We look back on the success of The Apache Way with confidence: participation is at an all-time high, with 33 projects in the Apache Incubator, and more than two dozen codebases being explored in the Apache Labs.

We also recognize that the ASF has become more than a trusted resource for developers; it is also a worthy organization for tax-deductible donations from the business community and individuals alike. Through the financial contributions of our sponsors, the ASF continues to power hundreds of millions of sites, projects, and software solutions across the planet (Apache software even powers satellites in outer space!).

This anniversary also gives us an occasion to formally acknowledge the loyalty and support of the millions of users responsible for our incredible success over the past decade. Through your commitment, the ASF continues to be the standard-bearer for Open Source excellence. We appreciate your ongoing support by sharing our story with your friends, and co-workers, and considering making a personal donation or becoming a sponsor of the ASF.

Join us in celebrating this important milestone throughout the year, as we highlight numerous ASF projects, people, and events in honor of the occasion. The festivities culminate in Oakland, California, 2-6 November 2009, at ApacheCon US, the official conference, trainings, and expo of the ASF (I am writing this letter from Amsterdam, where ApacheCon Europe is currently taking place).

So many of us can't imagine the world before the ASF, yet it seems that the years have quickly flown by. With so much to look forward to in the coming decade, we appreciate your help in keeping the ASF a relevant, vibrant, and active community, heartily invite you to share your thoughts with us by dropping us a line on the ASF blog.

Sincerely,
Jim Jagielski, Chairman
The Apache Software Foundation
