History
After prototyping phases in 2004 and 2005, convergence with the LHC Computing Grid (LCG-2) distribution was reached in May 2006 when gLite 3.0 was released and became the official middleware of the Enabling Grids for E-sciencE (EGEE) project which ended in 2010.
Development of the gLite middleware was then taken over by the European Middleware Initiative, and is now maintained as part of the EMI software stack.
The distributed computing infrastructure built by EGEE is now supported by the European Grid Infrastructure and runs the Grid middleware produced by the European Middleware Initiative, many components of which came from the gLite middleware.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Revolutions are the periods of history when individuals count most.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“The custard is setting; meanwhile
I not only have my own history to worry about
But am forced to fret over insufficient details related to large
Unfinished concepts that can never bring themselves to the point
Of being, with or without my help, if any were forthcoming.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“The history of our era is the nauseating and repulsive history of the crucifixion of the procreative body for the glorification of the spirit.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
