He is best known as cofounder, member, and director of The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) and as a core developer on several ASF projects, including the Apache HTTP Server, Apache Portable Runtime, and Apache Tomcat.[7][failed verification] His first recognition on the Internet was as editor of the A/UX FAQ and system administrator for Jagubox, the primary repository for third-party software for Apple's A/UX operating system.[8]
In addition to his involvement with the ASF, Jagielski has been involved with other open-source projects.
Apache Software Foundation[edit]
Jagielski is one of the founding members of The Apache Software Foundation, after having been a member of the original eight-member Apache Group.[citation needed] Jagielski served as Director on the ASF's board from its incorporation in 1999, until 2018, making him the longest serving Director in the Foundation's history.[citation needed] After having served eight years as Executive Vice President and Secretary, and three years as Chairman, Jagielski served for several years as President of the ASF.[9]
Jagielski is the original Chair of the Apache Incubator project, in which he is still involved.[10] He was one of the original co-mentors for the Geronimo project, and he also mentors several Incubator podlings.[citation needed]
Jagielski is an active developer on many open source projects, ASF and otherwise. After doing some development on the NCSA HTTPd web server, he started with Apache in early-to-mid 1995,[11] making him likely the longest active contributor within the ASF.[citation needed]
