+ <h3>03 June 2004 - At Last It's Official: <b>Apache Geronimo</b> graduates</h3>
+</a>
+ <p>
+The Apache Software Foundation
+(ASF) announced today that Apache Geronimo has been approved as an
+official project of the ASF. The objective of the Apache Geronimo project
+is to produce an open source, certified implementation of the Java 2
+Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) specification licensed under the
+Apache License and offered to the public at no charge.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Since its inception in August 2003, the Geronimo project has been
+working under the oversight of the Apache Incubator, a process used by the
+ASF to ensure new projects build a healthy community. The process also
+provides oversight and inspection of the codebase to ensure that it
+conforms to the Foundation's high standards for licensing and code
+integrity.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ "In approving the change to official project status, the board
+recognizes that the Geronimo project practices the Foundation's approach
+to high quality, community-oriented, open source software development,"
+said Greg Stein, Chairman of the Board, Apache Software Foundation. "The
+board believes that the Geronimo project is an excellent addition to the
+software that we provide to our users and a great step forward for the
+open-source J2EE community."
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ As an official project, Geronimo will continue towards its goal of
+certification as a J2EE server, with certification anticipated for the
+third quarter of 2004. Geronimo's success has only been possible through
+extensive collaboration with other open source enterprise middleware
+communities. Geronimo currently brings together Apache Tomcat and Apache
+Axis from the ASF, OpenEJB and ActiveMQ from Codehaus, JOTM and ASM from
+ObjectWeb, CGLIB and MX4J from SourceForge and Jetty from Mortbay.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ "By combining the architectural experience of the Geronimo team with
+the expertise of our partner communities, we have been able to build a
+great J2EE server in a short amount of time," said Dain Sundstrom, a
+Geronimo cofounder and community member. "By working closely with other
+open-source projects outside of the ASF, we are able to grow the Geronimo
+community by tens of participants at a time, and that really is building a
+strong, diverse community."
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ In parallel with development efforts, the project will continue to
+build a strong and diverse community of users and developers and look for
+opportunities to collaborate with other open-source communities working
+towards similar goals.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ "Enterprise middleware is an important segment of the open source
+software community, and we are happy that the ASF is able to participate
+so significantly through the Apache Geronimo project," said Geir Magnusson
+Jr, project chair. "Moving to official project status validates the
+momentum that the project has already attained, and this will only
+increase as we progress towards our first certified release."
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ More information about the Apache Geronimo project can be found on the
+project website, <a href="http://geronimo.apache.org/">http://geronimo.apache.org/</a>.
