8 | 25 years ago—On the 6'th of August 1991—the world's first website went live, | |
9 | and it's [still there](http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html). | |
10 | ||
11 | In other words, the world wide web is celebrating silver jubilee today. | |
12 | ||
13 | Imagine where we would've been without it. Would your project exist? Would | |
14 | freenode exist? | |
15 | ||
16 | On behalf of freenode, I'd like to give all our sponsors a big shoutout, for | |
17 | making freenode possible—read more about who they are on our [acknowledgements | |
18 | page](https://freenode.net/acknowledgements). | |
19 | ||
20 | And lastly we would like to thank you, the people that use freenode, the people | |
21 | who use freenode for your projects, the people that contribute to keeping the | |
22 | internet full of Free and Open Source Software. You are a part of what took the | |
23 | internet this far and a part of what keep it, and a lot of other tech related | |
24 | things, evolving. | |
25 | ||
26 | Stay with us, it's freenode's porcelain jubilee this year, keep chatting, keep | |
27 | the internet open. |
