| <section name="History of Synapse"> |
| <p> |
| Synapse started out as an Apache Incubator project co-proposed by a number of |
| companies. The real key starting point was a face-to-face meeting held in the |
| Bay Area in September 2005 hosted at Infravio's offices. In that meeting the |
| overall approach for Synapse was hammered out, and then we set out to coding. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The first real usable build followed early in January 2006. Known as M1, this was a |
| real runnable release, but only providing very simple functionality. Other releases |
| throughout 2006 lead to the 0.90 release in December 2006, and in December 2006, the |
| Board voted to approve Synapse as a graduate from the Incubator and a member of the |
| Web Services project. The namespace URL (http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse) used in |
| the Synapse configuration language is a remnant from our Apache Web Services heritage. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| A year later, in December 2007, Synapse became an Apache top level project (TLP), |
| and since then has released 3 versions. |
| </p> |

| Here are some more interesting resources that show the growth and development |
| of Synapse from its humble beginnings. |
