 # Fortress History
 
-In 2009 a small team of developers[1], who are brothers, began work on the *Open Access Manager* project.  From its onset, the push behind this project was the world desperately needs yet another access control system, but one that is based on standards and wholly open source.  In particular, Role-Based Access Control (ANSI INCITS 359) was a focal point, although that adherence brought with it a 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.
