Next week, on Wednesday morning, we're hosting a Pioneers panel discussion 
at ApacheCon.  We'll be pulling together folks who were there in the 
delivery room when the [email protected] list was born in 1995, as 
well as others who have been critical to the birth of the Foundation 
itself and other early Apache projects.  It'll be a chance to tell some 
stories about those early days, shed light on the deeper mysteries of the 
ASF, find the guy who decided to start using qmail/ezmlm so you can kill 
him, etc.  If you can make it to ApacheCon, please feel free to bring your 
own stories as well; we'll have time during the panel to hear some of 
them.

Like a warmed-over Ken Burns documentary, we'd also love to be able to 
show old photos, screen shots of old web pages, and any other visual (or 
even physical) emphemera representing the Paleolithic era of Apache's 
history behind us during the panel.  Hey, it'd be nice to collect those 
for the Apache History project anyways, too.  So if you have anything from 
say 2000 or earlier - the first ApacheCon in 1998, perhaps?  The first 
get-together of "core" in San Francisco in 1997, pre-Foundation?  Or even 
if it's just a photo of you and your server from that time - give it a 
caption and that'll work too.

Send your submissions to me via email, or if you feel so inspired, start a 
page on wiki.apache.org and let the rest of us know.  Please send it by 
Monday night the 2nd, and use the Apache License or CC-BY.

See some of you next week?
