• We started out as NotesoSS.org and a few months later we changed our name to OpenNTF.org for various reasons

• For the first 9 months the site remained pretty quiet

• “Build it and they shall come” - NOT!

• This gave us time to build the support infrastructure

• A few early endeavors

• A few early endeavors...

• Lookout Express - Microsoft Outlook Express template for Notes
