Project History
Laszlo was founded by David Temkin.
OpenLaszlo was originally called the Laszlo Presentation Server (LPS). Development began in the fall of 2001. Preview versions were released to select partners throughout 2002. Several of these were used for the first deployed Laszlo application, for Behr paint. The first general release of LPS was in early 2002.
In October 2004, Laszlo Systems released the full source code to the Laszlo Presentation Server under the GNU General Public License (GPL), and initiated the OpenLaszlo project. In 2005, coincident with the release of version 3.0, the name of the Laszlo Presentation Server was changed to OpenLaszlo.

Famous quotes containing the words project and/or history:
“A candidate once called his opponent “a willful, obstinate, unsavory, obnoxious, pusillanimous, pestilential, pernicious, and perversable liar” without pausing for breath, and even his enemies removed their hats.”
—Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
