40 Years of RFC
Yesterday marked the 40th anniversary of RFC 1 published
by Steve Crocker at UCLA and covering host software for processing
messages. The contents are forgettable
but signify the start of an initiative that has broadly impacted how network
standards are shared.
Here's a look at some other historical anniversaries during
this year that I think are interesting. You'll
see an article covering one of these from time to time over the next few months.

> 10 Years No mention of 2549? Also 10 years old this month. If only to show that WCF is flexible enough to support Quality of Service in the transport?
