1. The birth of Gephi {#_1_the_birth_of_gephi}
=====================

The origin of Gephi lays in [Web Atlas](http://webatlas.fr/wp/), a
project started in 2006 involving [Mathieu Jacomy](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mathieu-jacomy-a38a552a/), who was
interested in the exploration of web-based graphs.

This was about the same time [Eytan Adar](http://www.cond.org/) was
developing his [GUESS
software](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjljNmDtbrRAhXL6xQKHWDdDRMQFggcMAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fgraphexploration.cond.org%2Fchi2006%2Fguess-chi2006.pdf&usg=AFQjCNETmuZqHoaZyJSYpSuTGQ87PNSCLA&sig2=ns0z9wqVRIo5riVtHv1QfQ)

![align=\"center\"](/docs/05_Community_Tutorials/01_To_begin_with_gephi/history-en/matthieu-jacomy.jpg)

In 2007/2008, this project morphed into Gephi, developed by a team of
students at Université Technologique de Compiègne
([UTC](https://www.utc.fr/en.html)).

[Mathieu Bastian](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mathieubastian/) became
the software architect.

2. The evolution of Gephi {#_2_the_evolution_of_gephi}
=========================

Gephi has evolved in several major milestones:

a. version 0.6 (2009) {#_a_version_0_6_2009}
---------------------

- the initial public release. Contains already the filter system.

b. version 0.7 (2010) {#_b_version_0_7_2010}
---------------------

- Major overhaul of the graphics interface.

- Started using OpenGL framework for graphics acceleration.

- A system of plugin is created.

c. version 0.8 (2011) {#_c_version_0_8_2011}
---------------------

- Introduced dynamic graphs.

- Many plugins were created for Gephi, and the software started
becoming much popular.

- Mac computer users had issues installing Gephi on their computers
because of a Java compatibility issue.

d. version 0.9 (December 2015): {#_d_version_0_9_december_2015}
-------------------------------

- A graph engine optimized for memory is introduced: Gephi can handle
much larger graphs.

- The codebase for the project is \"mavenized\", making the code more
modular and easier to maintain.

- Compatibility issues with Mac OS are solved.

In 2016, Gephi is translated in French, Spanish, Japanese,  Russian,
Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese, Czech and German.

[Eduardo Ramos
Ibáñez](https://www.linkedin.com/in/eduardo-ramos-ib%C3%A1%C3%B1ez-b6231522/)
is the maintainer of the code.
