it's a month of anniversaries

[Dirk Hohndel]

While everyone is writing about that other anniversary (whatever), let's focus on what matters.
Ten years ago today, Linus made the first commits to the Subsurface repo.

commit 857e153070aee4383a82342a41caf0c5a0f8d700 (tag: start)
Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds at linux-foundation.org>
Date:   Sun Aug 28 16:18:53 2011 -0700

    Start archiving the stupid XML files
    
    (and add a reminder of how they came to be)
    
    Gaah.  XML is *stupid*.  It's not easy to parse for humans or for
    computers, and some of these XML files are just disgusting.  But maybe
    they can be turned into something usable with libxml.
    
    Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds at linux-foundation.org>


Even back then his commit messages were already awesome...

Today, after 18818 commits, the file format is a bit better and the UI is maybe slightly more advanced - but not of this would exist if the kernel.org <http://kernel.org/> servers hadn't been hacked a decade ago which left Linus bored :)

Congrats Linus, congrats to all of us!

Happy hacking and happy diving.
