So, one year huh? It's been great fun and we've accomplished a lot. Projects like AspectWerkz, Drools, Groovy, PicoContainer, JMock, QDox, XDoclet 2, Nanning, Plexus, XStream shows that Codehaus in a short time has attracted a lot of innovative projects. One reason is probably all the great and fun Hausmates and another reason is probably the amazing infrastructure. People that get sick of Sourceforge's low quality service has all the reason in the world to move. We have to thank Bob The Uberdespot for that, but I should also mention Atlassian whom never thinks twice about giving away an open-source license or two of their excellent products. I wish more companies worked like that (and there is, but I just wish *everone* worked like that :-) ).

A birthday is a time for review. What can we be better at? I think something we have to start thinking more about is how we face our users. Codehaus used to be alot about technology but there has been a movement lately to try and clean up our public face. We should definitely think more about our documentation.

That said: Hipp, hipp, hooray!
