<p>Nine years ago this Saturday, I announced my first open source perl project, a tool called "WebReq." It was a web frontend to a ticketing system called "req".<br />
Later on, a manager made me ditch the "req" part and write my own code to replace it. That eventually became RT 1.0.  </p>
<p>So. RT is essentially <b>nine</b> years old this Saturday.</p>
<p>Which seems like a good excuse for a party.  </p>
<p>My Place. Feb 12. 9pm until late.  </p>
<p>Ping me for directions, if you don't have 'em already.</p>
<p>RSVPs would be kinda nice, but aren't necessary.</p>
