nine years of mozilla

This grand experiment, the Mozilla project, wraps up its 9th year and begins its 10th today.

Today also marks the ninth anniversary of my first attempts to get involved with the Mozilla project. It ended up taking several months of reading newsgroups, reading bugzilla reports, testing occasional builds (made available by Mike Wynholds, and later Jason Kersey's mozBin site,) before I considered myself to be a valuable part of the project, but I've been here since the beginning and I couldn't be more proud of what we have accomplished in these 9 years.

(Literally) tens of thousands of people have devoted uncountable hours and herculean effort making this project what it is, and today I celebrate all of you.

You all are amazing, extraordinarily amazing.

Heh, I've still got a computer magazine cover CD with Mozilla 1.0 on it. I never installed it and I forgot about it, but that was only because I didn't have internet access back then :)

Re-listening to some old songs I was impressed with these lyrics (translation to English is mine, BTW):

"In every defeat
I have seen a piece of freedom.
And when it's over,
remember,
It has just started for me."

After some thinking, I found how this also perfectly fits into Mozilla's history. Wanted to e-mail you about this, actually.
