Product history
The Bug Genie was first called "Bugs - The Bug Genie" or simply BUGS. It was originally developed by Daniel A. Eikeland and Ray Jensen of Zegenie Studios, a small open-source software development company in Norway.[2][3] On September 5, 2003, a SourceForge project was started for the software[4], with its first release arriving as version 1.0 a few weeks later.[1] Zegenie Studios increased the web presence of the software when on November 15 it launched its website for the product.[3] Development steadily continued on the software until shortly after the March 23, 2005 announcement Ruffdogs — a North American-based Linux system strategy, support, and training company — had acquired the software from Zenegie.[2] A release candidate for version 1.7 was released 12 days later[1].
Ruffdogs released one update for BUGS on SourceForge — 1.7.2 on July 9, 2006[1] — before being bought by business development company Holonyx, Inc. on March 1, 2007.[5][6][7]
