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.
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
