[Equest-users] 20th Anniversary Celebration of BLDG-SIM

[Jason Glazer]

Next week I would like everyone to help celebrate the *20th 
anniversary of the BLDG-SIM mailing list*. On March 4, 1999 
I posted the first message:

http://onebuilding.org/archive/bldg-sim-onebuilding.org/1999-March/000229.html

Bill Clinton was president, people were concerned about Y2K, 
and the first Blackberry had just been released.

At the time, I invited everyone I knew personally in the 
building simulation industry and posted some messages to 
related mailing lists. Word of mouth grew the list to over 
300 subscribers a year later and it is now nearly 2400 
subscribers. The eQUEST-users, HAP-users, and TRACE-users 
lists split off in 2008 and in 2014 trnsys-users moved to 
the onebuilding.org server.

Overall, it has been a incredible journey to try to help the 
building energy modeling community which has been so 
supportive to me personally.

To celebrate I would encourage everyone to post fun items 
related to the mailing list and building energy modeling 
during the week of March 4 to 10.

Feel free to post:

  - pictures (maybe some "buildings" that look like the 
number 20, or comparison picture of you from 1999 and now)

  - jokes (simulation related, is that possible?)

  - stories (what has changed in 20 years and what has not?)

  - thank you's (publicly thank those who have helped you 
over the years)

  - contests (worst simulation pun?)

Go ahead and cross post to BLDG-SIM and eQUEST-users and 
please indicate in the subject line "20th" so others (boring 
people) can filter it out.

Thanks to all of you!

Jason
