OpenCms is based on ideas and software developed and deployed since 1994. The first versions of OpenCms were developed by Alexander Kandzior as an “in house” web agency solution while working on various professional web projects between 1994 and 1999. The first open source release of OpenCms was issued March 2000. Since then, OpenCms has been continuosly developed as an Open Source project. A number of companies and individuals have contributed to the development. Starting 2002, Alkacon Software GmbH, a software development company started by Alexander Kandzior, has been doing most of the work on the core OpenCms core system. Alkacon Software has been officially coordinating the further development of OpenCms and the opencms.org website since then. OpenCms 5.0 was released by Alkacon in May 2003. OpenCms 6.0 was released by Alkacon in May 2005, followed by OpenCms 6.2 in March 2006. OpenCms version 7.0 was released by Alkacon in July 2007.
