History

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
the ESG in Hanover/Germany in mid-september 2011.
