+The idea and overall concept of an free, truly open source, simple (KISS principle! Keep it simple, stupid) *community owned and maintained*, extendible software for automated incident handling was born at an meeting of several European CSIRTs in Heraklion, Greece, in 2014. Following the event, [Tomás Lima "SYNchroACK"](https://github.com/synchroack) (working at CERT.pt back then) created IntelMQ from scratch. IntelMQ was born on June 24th, 2014. A major support came from CERT.pt at this early stage. Aaron Kaplan (CERT.at until 2020) engaged in the long-term advancement and from 2015 on, CERT.at took the burden of the maintenance and development (Sebastian Wagner 2015-2021 at CERT.at). From 2016 onward, CERT.at started projects, initiated and lead by Aaron Kaplan, receiving CEFF-funding from the European Union to support IntelMQ's development. IntelMQ became a software component of the EU-funded MeliCERTes framework for CSIRTs. In 2020, IntelMQ's organizational structure and architectural development gained new thrive by the newly founded Board and the start of the IEP process, creating more structure and more transparency in the IntelMQ community's decisions.
