Interview with Stefan Seefeld of Berlin/Fresco
In this interview from 22 May 2002, Stefan Seefeld discusses the history of the Berlin and Fresco projects. This history also relates to that of the OpenDoc project.

At some point, probably when an attempt made by Fujitsu to standardize Fresco following a Request for Proposal by the Object Management Group failed (it was IBM and Apple who won with their OpenDoc architecture), Fresco was officially dropped. It still lived on for another couple of years, as an Open Source project, maintained by Thomas Hiller. The last release is from 1998.
At about that time I joined the Berlin project and suggested that we aggressively reuse Fresco's architecture and design. For the last three years I have been doing just that: I reimplemented ideas from Fresco in the context of Berlin, on top of low level libraries such as GGI, using a real (and independent) ORB, etc.
