Probably everyone who is involved in the implementation of IPv6, or at least interested in this set of protocols, knows about Google's IPv6 traffic graph.

The LibreOffice community celebrated ten years since the project was founded. Ten years ago, the leading developers of OpenOffice.org formed a new non-profit organization, The Document Foundation, to continue developing the office suite as a project that is independent of Oracle, does not require developers to transfer ownership of the code, and makes decisions based on the principles of meritocracy. The project was created a year later […]
