Just my thoughts on the matter:
the designer of the runner-up logo and the 3rd place logo is also
responsible for 5 other logos that made it in the list. They are
basically different versions of the same concept. If you add up the
scores for logo's 2, 3, 6, 8, 11, 20 and 23 you will see a score of 86
(23 votes)!
So one can argue the community likes this concept the most.

Check the results from the poll:

The obvious winner is:

But since things are never simple.... given the similarity of this logo
to solaris logo:

SO... we will check with the Apache PRC for guidance before making any
final decisions. With their feedback, we *may* pick one of the 'runner
up' logos.
Stay tuned!
