## Source excerpt

Hi everyone, I have often told the history of PowerDNS, or at least how I recall it, during talks and presentations. As I am about to truly leave DNS and PowerDNS, I thought it was high time to document my recollections. Since this is a 20+ year old story right now, it is very possible I have forgotten or misremembered important things. Do let me know if you miss important things, or if you recall things differently!
