The Hyperledger Project, an open source blockchain platform being developed by the Linux Foundation in collaboration with 30+ companies, announced today the appointment of Brian Behlendorf as the project’s first executive director.

Behlendorf is most famous for developing the Apache Web server software, which is the most widely used server platform on the Internet today. Brian was also a founding member of the Apache Group, which became the Apache Software Foundation, in 1999.

Since 2003, Behlendorf has served on the boards of Mozilla Foundation and the Electronic Frontier Foundation. For the past three years, he was a managing director at tech-focused investment firm Mithril Capital Management, based in San Francisco.
