 # History
 
-In 2009 a small team of developers[1], who also happen to be brothers, began work on the Open Access Manager concept.  From its very beginning, the driving push behind the project was standards-based access control and open source.  In particular, the Role-Based Access Control (ANSI INCITS 359) standard was being focused on, although that adherence brought with it the need for expanded coverage into other areas.  After a couple of years of coding in their spare time, the brothers unveiled the project at the 2011 LDAPCon held every two years, this time in Heidelberg with a new name -- *Fortress*.  At the same time, it was announced that the OpenLDAP foundation would sponsor the project and it would be released under a BSD-style variant of an Open Source Software license.
+In 2009 a small team of developers[1], who also happen to be brothers, began work on the *Open Access Manager* concept.  From its very beginning, the driving push behind the project was the world needs a standards-based access control system that is wholly open source.  In particular, the Role-Based Access Control (ANSI INCITS 359) standard a focal point, although that adherence brought with it the need for expanded coverage into other areas of access control and administration.  After a couple of years of coding in their spare time, the brothers unveiled the project at the 2011 LDAPCon in Heidelberg and with it a new name - *Fortress*.  At the same time, it was announced that the OpenLDAP foundation would sponsor the project and it would be released under a BSD-style variant of an Open Source Software license.
 
 That first release, back in 2011, included just the fortress core and realm components, but development of the web interface (commander) and rest server (enmasse) was already underway.  A few more years saw many more releases and the eventual completion of the commander and enmasse rounding out the entire product line into what's available today.
