As we reported recently, the ApacheCon 2009 conference is rapidly approaching, to be held November 2nd through 6th in Oakland, California.? The conference will feature sessions and speakers talking not only about web server- and services-related topics, but about the Hadoop software framework for data-intensive queries,? and the many sub-projects that the Apache Software Foundation oversees. The event is partly intended to mark the 10th anniversary of the Apache Software Foundation, and we already ran a post from Jim Jagielski, co-founder and chairman of the foundation, on Apache's future, and a post from Justin Erenkrantz, who is the president.
As another post in our Apache series, today we offer up a guest item from Shane Curcuru, a director at ASF, on his personal experiences with the foundation. Here it is.

Trends in data storage and server computing are changing rapidly, and there are some unexpected shakeups to come, with open source implications. Hardware continues to get cheaper. Bandwidth isnﾒt quite free yet, but itﾒs hardly expensive. High-quality open source software now abounds in enterprise data centers, but grid computing solutions remain half-baked and hardly commoditized.
These trends are all behind why I think Yahoo! and EMC are set for a future technology collision, given their respective philosophies--and open source is too.
