Summary

GitHub has announced the successful migration of the Apache Software Foundation's projects to its platform, marking a significant transition for Apache, the world's largest open-source foundation. With over 200 million lines of code managed by a volunteer community, Apache's decision to integrate GitHub's repository and tools began in 2016, culminating in a complete migration by February 2019. This move simplifies project hosting and collaboration for Apache, aligning with GitHub's mission to support and grow open-source communities worldwide. The integration offers Apache a streamlined environment to focus on software development and community building, alongside 31 million developers globally. GitHub continues to engage with various open-source communities to address their specific challenges and support their transition plans, inviting further collaboration.
