Slashdot Mirror

kilaasi points out this CNET story about the planned release on Monday of Apache 2.0, "or at least the version that has proprietary extensions. Covalent sells the core of Apache and its own extensions which make it easier to adapt for specific areas and simpler to administer. Covalent is confident that the next generation Apache is mature and is ready for prime time. Covalent employs some of the core members of the Apache-development-team." XRayX adds a link to Covalent's press release, writing: "It's not clear when the Open Source Edition (or whatever) will come out and I didn't find anything at the official Apache Site." Update: 11/10 16:37 GMT by T : Note that the product name is Covalent Enterprise Ready Server; though it's based on Apache software, this is not Apache 2.0 per se. Thanks to Sascha Schumann of the ASF for the pointer.

Covalent is doing a webcast with Ryan Bloom giving a talk on Apache 2.0. I have heard Bloom's talk a few times now, and if you are interested in learning a bit more about 2.0 you might want to listen in. There is more information here, and a sign-up form here.

Skapare asks: "A year ago, this question about using Apache and SSL in a commercial environment was asked in the Apache section of Slashdot. The RSA patent was still in force back then, and the focus was on commercial products like Raven. Since then, the RSA patent has been released and then expired. That same month a year ago, Ask Slashdot also featured a question about encumbrance of SSL/PGP. But with the RSA patent gone, and Diffie-Hellman before it, this surely opens up Apache with SSL free for commercial use. Now I'm exploring options for free SSL for Apache, and note at least two choices, Apache-SSL, and mod_ssl. What I'd like to ask is what are the fundamental and principle differences between these free versions that I should consider in deciding which I should use in a commercial environment."

A very in-depth and complete Apache Mailing List archive has been created by Sander van Zoest. It was written it using XML/XSL-T and catalogs just about every Apache mailing list. It's quite impressive, even as an admitted "first cut". The archive itself is sponsored by Covalent Technologies.

Covalent Technologies has announced what we believe to be the first publicly acknowledged site running the latest version of Apache: Apache 2.0a5. The site also includes some nifty links that gives you a "behind the scenes" look at the resource and load demands it's making on the server. These include the standard Apache "server-status" page as well as a top dump.

First submitted by AC: "VeriSign has announced the availability of their 128 bit global server IDs for the Covalent SSL module, Raven. This looks very promising for the Apache community especially with the easing of encryption export controls by the U.S. Bureau of Export Administration."

Nir Arbel wrote in to tell us that Cnet has awarded Apache the 'best Internet server application of the year'. Sorta related is Craig Boesch who wrote in with a link to covalent.net who recently released the Raven SSL module for Apache. It's a commercial program, but 7% of every purchase goes back to Apache. I really love seeing companies release cool commercial add ons to cool programs, and giving something back.
