Here we list major project milestones.
== 1999 ==<!--T:2-->
{{Quote|Indeed it was <!--T:3-->* Nov 1999 when our engineers started adding bits : Alexander Tormasov visited Singapore and pieces of containers technology proposed a new direction to Linux kernel 2Sergey Beloussov: container virtualization.2. Well, not exactly "He formulated three main components: containers",but rather "virtual environments" at that time -- as it often happens a set of processes with new technologies, the terminology was different (the term "container" was coined by Sun only five years laternamespace isolation, file system to share code/ram and isolation in 2004).|Kir Kolyshkin|http://openvz.livejournal.com/49158resources.html}}

* Nov, == 2000 == <!- Limited beta testing -T:5- we were providing free VEs to people to run their stuff at. I remember we had to modify EULA to disallow all kinds of abuses, such as bots and CPU hoggers.->
== 2002 ==<!--T:6-->* Feb 2000: office at MIPT is established, 5 people started working on the first mockup version of Virtuozzo (namespaces, isolation, vzfs).
<!--T:7-->* Jan, 2002 - SWsoft Jul 2000: limited public beta testing: two public servers (now known as Odin) initially released a product for Linux named Virtuozzo0. Their current product is named Virtuozzo1 and control panels), 5000 VEs during summer. It was Virtuozzo 2.0, Take a look on [http://www.odinpaul.sladen.comorg/vserver/aspcomplete/news2000-08-25/id,6987 press release Virtual Environment 0.4.2 (public beta)] went out 10 Jan 2002files.
== 2005 ==<!--T:8-->* Sep 2000: Andrey Savochkin from MSU started working on User Beancounters.

Parallels company is in top 10 Linux kernel contributors with their patches for Linux containers. Our contributions to the kernel at that time was PID, IPC, and network namespaces, with the last one being the biggest (mostly developed by xemul@ and den@).->

* Jul 15, 2011 == 2006 == <!- Pavel Emelyanov sent initial RFC and code (http-T://lwn.net/Articles/451916/). The idea of CRIU of course came up earlier when we figured we (or anyone else, for that matter) can't possibly merge in17-kernel checkpoint/restore. Re-implementing it in userspace looked crazy for everyone including me, and Andrew Morton's and Linus Torvalds' initialreaction was similar ("some crazy russians").* Sep 23, 2011 - [https://github.com/xemul/criu/commit/523de236244946a0de127dfc9954369963819ef7 first commit] to CRIU project>
