there was also nCube but i know little if what they did (other than make VOD servers) or anything that might remain from their work. > On 21 Jul 2025, at 4:19 pm, sirjofri via 9fans <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi, > > 19.07.2025, 18:11, ron minnich: >> I would say the first real harvey commit was feb 1 2015 or so, those earlier >> commits were from 0intro's trees. > > I added that, thanks. > >> Jehanne forked off a few years after that. > > It would be cool to know some more precise year for that graph. > >> >> On Sat, Jul 19, 2025 at 9:05 AM Dan Cross <[email protected] >> <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: >> On Sat, Jul 19, 2025, 11:53 AM ron minnich <[email protected] >> <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: >> If you can add an entry for HPC, starting in 2000, at LANL, with the >> setup of the centre, I'll add events after that.
