+	  	   	<h3>Community as per Apache Software Foundation</h3>
+	  			<p>The Apache Software Foundation exists to provide legal and technological infrastructure for open source projects.
+				    By and large, the Foundation leaves it to the project communities to define their development process.
+				    There are some constraints resulting from the fundamental legal umbrella held by the Foundation.
+				    For the Foundation to protect contributors, projects must respect the rules regarding IP management and releases.
+				    A more interesting set of constraints, however, stems from the Foundation’s commitment to Open Source software development
+				    as a communal process.
+				    Apache projects are communities, and some of the few pan-Foundation norms exist to ensure transparent, fair, collegial,
+				    decision-making processes.</p>
+				 <p>The two pillars of the Apache community model are mailing lists and consensus process.<br>
+				    The mailing list policy is simple enough. Community decisions must be reached on the mailing list.
+				    This allows anyone in the community, whatever their location or time zone, to participate.<br><br>
+                                    The goal of consensus is make decisions that are acceptable to everyone in the group. ‘Acceptable,’ not ‘ideal.’
+				    For a consensus to work, all the participants must willingly balance personal views with the good of the group.
+				    Anyone can block consensus -- but blocking consensus is not a choice that anyone takes lightly.</p>
+                                 <p>When an Apache Project Management Committee needs to make an important, binding, hard-to-reverse decision,
+				    such as declaring a release, it holds a vote. Members vote -1, 0, or 1.<br>
+				    Any member of the committee can block consensus by voting ‘-1’.</p>
+				 <p>In Apache we favor community over code, meaning it is more important to have a vivid community than to have the newest
+				    hottest code (unless the community want to have that)</p>
+	  	   	<h3>The Corinthia Community</h3>
+			         <p>Unlike many Apache projects, we are not a community of people who have worked together for a long period of time.
+				    The current community come from different part of the world, different open source projects, different knowledge. 
+				    We share a common vision of making Corinthia a big success. This is your chance, you will find a community where your
+				    word is taken just as serious as any other. We try to marked Corinthia at openSource events:<br>
+				    - ApacheCON EU 2014 (Budapest) is over but Louis and Peter gave 3 excellent presentations<br>
+				    - FOSDEM 2015 (Brussels 31 january - 1 february), Jan will give a presentation saturday afternoon<br>
+				    - ApacheCON Us 2015 (Austin, Texas 13 - 17 April), Jan will give a presentation<br>
+				    If you pass by any of these events, please stop by and ask any questions you might have</p>
