            <p>
                The log4net project was started by <a href="http://www.neoworks.com">Neoworks Limited</a> 
                in June 2001. It was created as an internal project within Neoworks to port the Apache 
                log4j&#x2122; code base to the Microsoft&#xae; .NET Framework. The code base was initially branched 
                from a pre-alpha log4j 1.2.
            </p>

            <p>
                In July 2001 a <a href="http://sourceforge.net">Sourceforge</a> project was started
                and log4net was published under the Apache Software License. The first public release of
                log4net was made in September 2001. A further 10 releases were made on the sourceforge
                site.
            </p>

            <p>
                In December 2003 the Apache Logging Services project was created. 
                In February 2004 log4net was donated by Neoworks to the Apache Software Foundation
                to become a member of the Logging Services project. 
            </p>
            
            <p>
                In February 2007 log4net graduated from the Apache Incubator project to become a
                fully fledged Apache project. Apache log4net is a subproject of the Logging Services project.
