20 Years of LWN

Back in mid-1997, your editor (Jonathan Corbet) and Liz Coolbaugh wereengaged in a long-running discussion on how to trade our nice, stable,reliably paying jobs for a life of uncertainty, poverty, andaround-the-clock work. Not that we thought of it in those terms,naturally. We eventually settled on joining Red Hat's nascent "supportpartner" program; while we were waiting for it to get started, we decidedto start a weekly newsletter as a side project - not big andprofessional like the real press - to establish ourselves in the community.Thus began an amazing journey that has just completed its 20th year.
