2 days ago Apache celebrated its 15th birthday!

I meant to post about it but forgot… So Happy Belated Birthday Apache!

Here is the post on their blog about it, along with some cool Apache history.

The Apache Server started as a fork (an independent development stream) of the NCSA httpd, a Web server created by Rob McCool at the National Center for supercomputing Applications. Further development to the server ceased after McCool’s departure from NCSA in 1994, so an online community of individuals was formed to support and enhance its software via email collaboration. (…) Within less than a year of the Apache Group’s formation, the Apache server surpassed NCSA httpd as the #1 server on the Internet.

Wow, 15 years old… that’s pretty good going for a product which has managed to become the dominant force without being a heavily commercial entity. :slight_smile:
