95. Apache's tagline We are more than a group of projects sharing a server, we are a community of developers and users .

96. Apache's Mission The Apache Software Foundation provides support for the Apache community of open source software projects . The Apache projects are characterized by a collaborative, consensus based development process, an open and pragmatic software license , and a desire to create high quality software that leads the way in its field.

130. Some consistency

131. Some points to discuss

132. Here's a few...

133. Independence Enable corporate, non-profit, and volunteer stakeholders to contribute in a collaborative fashion.

134. Reuse Build a constructive working and technical relationship so that the source code developed at Apache can be readily used downstream by everyone.

135. Collaboration Collaboration is not just on code, some suggestions for other forms of collaboration... jointly sponsored events, interoperability 'plugfests', standards development, shared build infrastructure, shared release mirrors, coordination of build schedules and version numbers, defect lists, and downstream requirements

136. Open We will make our relationship with other projects a priority early in the life of the Apache Incubator project

137. Interoperability Build close relationships with appropriate Apache Projects to enhance the features of OO.o and improve interoperability.
