- ...
+ OpenBSD was only a few months old when
+ we realized that read-only repository access
+ for everyone was a critical concept.
+ <p>
+ Previously, open source projects would make
+ occasional releases accompanied by tarballs of
+ final source files and Changelogs files, but would
+ not expose the step-by-step changes of the
+ development process.  Unwittingly all open source
+ projects were operating with a walled garden
+ approach.
+ <p>
+ Chuck Cranor and I worked on the anoncvs feature, and
+ Bob Beck soon became involved in moving the anoncvs
+ mirror off my overloaded ISDN network to the
+ University of Alberta, thereby increasing our capacity
+ to deliver.  Nowadays there are many anoncvs mirrors.
+ <p>
+ The introduction of anoncvs meant people without commit
+ access could read the commit logs, as well as each
+ committed diff.  They could reason about the past as
+ they proposed new changes.
+ <p>
+ Anoncvs had an immediate impact expanding our development
+ group. We were inundated with high quality diffs.  These
+ outsider developers wrote excellent changes because they had
+ sufficient context to reason upon.  Those who overwhelmed us
+ with good changes became developers with commit access.  We
+ were forced to hand out commit accounts like candy.
+ <p>
+ Some people said we would never last.  Their cynicism
+ could almost be thanked for the increase in openness
+ we embraced, and then our openness probably led others
+ to embrace it also.
+ <p>

- (will be released around April 25)<br>
+ I had a Type-4 keyboard,<br>
+ Bought with my Sun workstation,<br>
+ Hacked on it 'til my fingers bled.<br>
+ Was the winter of '95.<br>
  <br>
+ Me and the guys from core,<br>
+ Had a source tree with lots of history.<br>
+ Chris and Charles held a little coup,<br>
+ I should have known I'd lose my history.<br>
+ <br>
+ Oh, when I look back now,<br>
+ I can see we all have nothing<br>
+ When it all can be...
+ when it can be taken away.<br>
+ Everyone needs to know their history.<br>
+ It was the winter of '95<br>
+ <br>
+ So we carried on with a fresh source tree,<br>
+ Spent all of our hours coding,<br>
+ Making changes in our private history,<br>
+ Repeating the error of the past, yeah.<br>
+ <br>
+ The source tree just got too big,<br>
+ Too many diffs, too unreliable,<br>
+ Too few people had any access;<br>
+ Got to open it up now and forever<br>
+ Everyone needs to see the history.<br>
+ <br>
+ Sometimes when I look for something<br>
+ Reading ancient tarballs with despair<br>
+ I wonder what they were thinking.<br>
+ <br>
+ And now the times have changed<br>
+ Repos on the web, git,<br>
+ now githubs everywhere.<br>
+ not like the winter of '95<br>
+ <br>
+ Back around that Halloween,<br>
+ Microsoft said open source would never last,<br>
+ But now they use the repo tools,<br>
+ In the same open access way.<br>
+ <br>
+ Everyone needs to see the history.<br>
