I'd like to let everyone know that Basis Technology is a new silver
sponsor for the Apache Software Foundation. They join a group of
organizations and individuals [1] that provide financial support to the
foundation to keep the servers running and everything else that we need
to do to support the projects.
Basis Technology is both a user and contributor to many projects at the
ASF. Benson Margulies ([email protected]) is an ASF member and
works for Basis.
Basis is a provider of high speed, high accuracy, linguistic solutions
that interoperate with Lucene/Solr. They see Lucene/Solr as critical
enabling technology for search, and they believe that there is a natural
partnership between the open source technology, on the one hand, and on
linguistic technology that depends on data that is, for the forseeable
future, not going to be open source on the other. Benson is a PMC member
and committer on Apache Mahout, the NLP offshoot of Lucene/Solr.
Also, Basis is a provider of solutions in the field of digital
forensics. PDFBox and Tika are critical enabling technologies in this
field. Brian Carrier is a committer on PDFBox, and Benson is an
occasional contributor to Tika.
Finally, Basis delivers SOA solutions to our customers, and they've
standardized on Apache CXF for this purpose. Benson is a committer and
PMC member on CXF to help ensure that the things that they need are there.
