[Modularit-users] translation needed

[Agustín Benito Bethencourt]

Hi,

to present ModularIT to a event related with EU projects, I need to give
them some information about the project in english. ModularIT's background
is not on the web in english. I've translated this but need some checking

Can you Richard? It has to be done today. Probably I will send to this ilst
some other texts.

Saludos

Background

ModularIT was born as a response of the strategic decision took back in 2004 by the companies that form Grupo CPD to establish a common technology and associate procedures that allow them to share the same bussines model, based on a new and open technology, based on free software, feeping internal independence between the companies. That idea derived in this project and its timeline has been the following:
* ModularIT requirements are developed from the solutions Grupo CPD companies were using by that time.: end of 2004
* The first stable version of ModularIT (0.9 version) is finished: end of 2006
* Grupo CPD customers begin to migrate from previous technologies to ModularIT v0.9: mid 2006
* Most of Grupo CPD customers had ModularIT v0.9 by the end of 2006
* New procedures related with support, maintenance, deployment and other basic actions developed and the development of the new version begins: end of 2006
* ModularIT v1.0 is done by mid 2007
* Grupo CPD customers migrate to the new version during the second half of 2007. New procedures are develop and many more updated.
* ModularIT v 1.0 is published under GPL2 version in March 2008
* ModularIT v1.1 (codename Timanfaya) begins its development right after becoming a free software project.
* ModularIT v1.1 is stable by mid 2008.
* Grupo CPD customers migrate to the new Timanfaya version on the second half of 2008
* ModularIT v1.1 is published under GPLv3 and the community project is defined: December 2008
