HISTORY OF THE OPENPKG PROJECT
The OpenPKG project was founded in 2000 by Cable & Wireless Germany's
- Internet Services division. In January 2002 it was released by
- Cable & Wireless to the public as Open Source software. Since then

- team leader of Development in Internet Services and principal author
- of numerous other widely used Open Source Software technologies
- like Apache SSL/TLS Engine (mod_ssl), Apache URL Rewriting Engine
- (mod_rewrite), GNU Portable Threads (Pth), GNU Portable Shell Tool
- (Shtool), and Website META Language (WML).
