Apache OODT is a Top-Level Project

In an announcement made on the organization's own website, the Apache Software Foundation announced that Apache OODT (Object-Oriented Data Technology) has graduated from the Apache Incubator to become a Top-Level Project (TLP), signifying that the Project's community and products have been well-governed under the ASF's meritocratic, consensus-driven process and principles. Apache OODT is used for computer processing workflow, hardware and file management, information integration, and linking databases. Originally developed in 1998 by Daniel Crichton at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory to build a national framework for data sharing, the OODT architecture allows distributed computing and data resources to be searchable and utilized by any end user.

"'OODT had been successfully operating within the JPL for years; the time had come to realize the benefits of open source in the broader, external community,' said Chris Mattmann, Vice President of Apache OODT. 'Bringing new developer talents is integral in enhancing the quality of the OODT code, and making OODT available as an Apache project was an ideal way to introduce new features and capabilities.'"
