Fifteen years of LWN

The first Linux book I bought was by Jon Corbet, in 1999 or so. Device Drivers. I was trying to convince a software development company that there was money to be made writing applications on a Linux platform. At that time I had absolutely no idea who he was.

The first person I invited for the 2001 Singapore Linux Conference was Liz Coolbaugh (by this time I was avidly reading LWN). You can see her writeup at: http://lwn.net/2001/features/Singapore/

Unfortunately, the 2002 event collapsed, which in hindsight I justify by saying that this proved Linux had arrived, as only minority groups form clan associations, the majority needs no lobby group :-)

I strongly recommend LWN to colleagues, 20 mins a week reading LWN enables you to sound knowledgeable at meetings!

Congratulations, and good luck ahead (I remember the scare 6 years ago as LWN talked of shutting down).
