All,
today 20 years ago -- on November 24 1997 -- is the date of the first commit to the deal.II repository. If you had asked me at the time whether I thought that (i) deal.II would still exist 20 years later, (ii) anyone would actually care about the first point, (iii) people would still use C++, or (iv) I would still be in academia today, I would not have had an answer. I might have said "no" to any of these questions.

But deal.II is still around, with more users and developers than ever before:
  http://dealii.org/publications.html
  http://dealii.org/authors.html
  https://github.com/dealii/dealii/graphs/contributors

What a ride it's been! And what a community we've built -- thanks to all of you who have participated, in one way or the other!

To many more years!
  Wolfgang
