Montreal Mozilla Party

I remember reading the announcement, linked from Slashdot I think, that Netscape was going to open source the upcoming version 5 of their Navigator (of note there never was a version 5 after all, they jumped right to 6, heh).

Ah, those were the good old time, where people like jwz threw parties with people like Mistress Midori as host for a free software release...

In Montreal, elliptic_curve threw a party, where I met her as well as apenwarr and Pat for the first time. It was an Internet café, with a bunch of Windows workstations, but someone brought their Linux computer, with an NFS server, serving a small X terminal setup, allowing us to go from one computer to the other with a Linux boot floppy, temporarily turning the place into a Linux-running café...

I remember finding elliptic_curve rather interesting, which took me all of, hmm, 7 years and a half to come out about. This speaks volumes about myself, LOL!

I remember the underlining on hyperlinks, when apenwarr managed to compile it, which was over the links instead of under, for some reason. Discussing the architecture of the FEs over IRC and in person at the same time. Exciting times!
