In 2005, an internal prototype of OpenSlides was developed
specifically for use on general meetings of the federal association of
`protestant student community (Bundes-ESG)
<http://www.bundes-esg.de>`_ in Germany by Emanuel Schütze in PHP. In
late 2010 Oskar Hahn and Emanuel Schütze began with a new development
in Python/Django and build up a Free Software project, called
"OpenSlides". OpenSlides was published under the GNU GPL in August
2011. Version 1.0 is released on September 12th 2011. The first
productive use of OpenSlides happened at the general meeting of
2011-10-04 22:30:49 +02:00
