Check this one for the creation of Git 1.0. It has avatars for the coders,
including Linus himself! :D

Amazing to see how much a couple of guys work and how many come and go for
a couple of modules. I really love Gource movies.Pieces of condensed (and
animated) history.

So tht's how Python was created! Far out! Hey man, pass that bad boy
over here! Pfft. Hey man, cough cough, this is good stuff, cough
giggle! Now where did I put those potato chips?

If we ever have a LyX history, I hope Dekl Tsur is featured. He
singlehandedly kept me from bailing in 2001, a couple months after I
started using LyX. At the time I needed character styles, but LyX had
none. Dekl showed me some LaTeX that allowed me to create a linkage
between color and kludge character styles I created. It was weird but
enabled me to write "Troubleshooting Techniques of the Successful
Technologist". Here's a description of Dekl's workaround:

About 4 years later LyX 1.4.0 got character styles and they were
wonderful, but Dekl's workaround was what enabled me to use LyX from
2001 til 2006.
