LWN.net: a ten-year timeline (part 1)

,----[ Quote ]
| LWN is about to celebrate a birthday. Picking the true anniversary of an
| enterprise like LWN can be a bit tricky - there are many points which could
| be said to mark the true birth of the organization. After some thought, we
| have decreed that LWN.net was born on January 30, 1998. So we have a tenth
| anniversary coming up. That's a long time - far longer than any of us thought
| we would be doing this.
