<P>Hello, I am wondering what are the differences between windows version of Apache and Linux version of Apache. Besides that, my friend suggested me to use the windows one since it's easier to install. What do you think?</P>

functions as a<BR>>meritocracy. Everyone is invited to participate. Getting involved<BR>>means subscribing to the mailing lists of a project you use, answering<BR>>questions, submitting patches and documentation. You can get more<BR>>ideas from my website:<BR>><BR>> http://www.jadetower.org/muses/archives/000009.html<BR>><BR>>Once you've shown that you're serious about sticking around and<BR>>helping out with a given project, you'll be offered commit access.<BR>>And after really sticking around and getting involved in more projects<BR>>and more "behind the scenes" work like infrastructure maintenance,<BR>>you'll find yourself nominated to be a member of Apache. This process<BR>>of meritocracy isn't designed to be exclusive, but to ensure that<BR>>those who are entrusted with guiding the
organization really care<BR>>about it.<BR>><BR>>That's the traditional way of "signing up."<BR>><BR>>Today, Apache actually adds more committers through the "Incubator"<BR>>than anywhere else. Existing open source or commercial projects which<BR>>want to join Apache (and for commercial projects that means becoming<BR>>open source) have to go through an "incubation" process to ensure all<BR>>the copyrights and other legal issues are handled properly.<BR>>Incubation is also a time for project developers to learn to build a<BR>>healthy open source community. So in this way, developers become part<BR>>of Apache by taking their project through incubation. The ASF if<BR>>growing rapidly in this respect, as you can see from the list of<BR>>incubating projects:<BR>><BR>>
http://incubator.apache.org/projects/index.html<BR>><BR>><BR>>Anyway, that's probably a longer answer than you expected, but I<BR>>figure some others on the mailing list might also be interested.<BR>>Moreover, the basic process I've described here works for most open<BR>>source projects, be they formal organizations like Apache or just some<BR>>small singular project on SourceForge. So pick one, or start you own,<BR>>and get involved!<BR>><BR>>--<BR>> jaaron<BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>>------------------------------<BR>><BR>>_______________________________________________<BR>>wplug mailing list<BR>>wplug@wplug.org<BR>>http://www.wplug.org/mailman/listinfo/wplug<BR>><BR>><BR>>End of wplug Digest, Vol 24, Issue 4<BR>>************************************<BR></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></div></html>
