# History
This section describes how the team came to be, where our roots are and how we got to know eachother.
In general this document should point out the timeline when each person, with which project, came to the team.
This section gives an overview when which person became a member of our team and how IT4C became to be.
It all began ~2017, when [Alex](people/alexander-friedland.md), who made the initial website for the DEMOCRACY project, met with [Ulf](people/ulf-gebhardt.md) in Karlsruhe to <!-- textlint-disable write-good-->evaluate<!-- textlint-enable write-good --> the state of election methods available in universities at given time. Ulf started to work with DEMOCRACY and when the project had its public appearance [Wolle](people/wolfgang-huss.md) made contact to work with the project as an influencer.
## Human Connection
Most of us met again 2019 at Human Connection. This time all as developers to <!-- textlint-disable write-good-->implement<!-- textlint-enable write-good --> the envisioned social network. [Wolle](people/wolfgang-huss.md) was first, followed by [Alex](people/alexander-friedland.md) and [Ulf](people/ulf-gebhardt.md). While Ulf left for DEMOCRACY again, Hannes volunteered and Moriz joined the Team, till the project ended 2020 as Human Connection and was transformed into Ocelot.social.
## Ocelot.social - end of Human Connection
In the last quater of 2020 Human Connection was ended as a project and the source code was republished under the name Ocelot.social. [Wolle](people/wolfgang-huss.md), [Alex](people/alexander-friedland.md), [Ulf](people/ulf-gebhardt.md) and Moriz continued on the project and released wir.social to keep ocelot alive.
## Gradido
In 2021 most of the team joined the Gradido project. As always our scout [Alex](people/alexander-friedland.md) was first, followed by [Ulf](people/ulf-gebhardt.md), who was residing in Norway at the time. Soon after Moriz joined up and Hannes came on board in Summer 2021.
When Ulf went on a trip to Italy [Wolle](people/wolfgang-huss.md) could <!-- textlint-disable write-good-->finally<!-- textlint-enable write-good --> be convinced to join, soon followed by [Mathias](people/mathias-lenz.md).
## Yunite.me
During 2022 the Yunite-Team approached the team to get a new social network going based on ocelot-social. The new network was release on 01.11.2022 under the name yunite.me.
## Trouble at Gradido
With the end of the year 2022 the financial situation within the Gradido project became more dire, which lead to reduced hours for the team and [Wolle](people/wolfgang-huss.md) becoming a volunteer rather then a paid contributor.
## IT4C
With the start of 2023 the IT4C brand name and [website](https://www.it4c.dev) was established to allow the whole team to present themselves and the team as a whole.
