What's the Apache Incubator?

When I mention that my talk is on the Apache Incubator the most common response I’ve had so far is “What’s that?” I suspect that may have something to do with the fact that I’ve been bumping into python and perl people. If you haven’t noticed, the incubator is mostly full of Java projects, but that’s another subject.

If you haven’t heard of the Apache Incubator, it’s home to projects seeking to enter the Apache Software Foundation. These projects and programmers may be brand new open source efforts or existing projects that are relocating to Apache. To find out more, visit the Incubator site or if you happen to be at OSCON you can attend my talk or visit the Apache booth.
