Apache
From iA wiki
See also: UNIX | Open Source | HTTP
The most popular web server software in the world. Available for a wide variety of platforms. One of the first proof-of-concept open source projects along with Linux, BSD and Perl, Apache is far more secure than Microsoft's Internet Information Server (IIS) and has a wide variety of applications. Based on NCSA HTTPd as a patch thus called 'a patchie'.
Many other projects including an HTTP server, SSL handling, and PHP programming are under the Apache umbrella; Apache is also expanding in the Jakarta (java programs), XML, and Webservices arenas.
The annual conference of all things Apache is ApacheCon - has it's own wiki: http://apachecon.com/wiki/
