01 June 2004 - The ASF announces Apache Geronimo as an Official Project

The Geronimo project is now out of Apache Incubator and has been granted top-level project status by 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.

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.

The board of the apache software foundation approved the graduation of the Apache Geronimo project from within the Incubator to its own "top level" project. Geir Magnusson will be the new Chair of Apache Geronimo.
