We all have heard about the Nobel Prize but did you know what Alfred Nobel was famous for before?

Dynamite. He was known as the Merchant of Death

The story goes he read his own obituary that was mistakenly his brother, after that he wanted to leave his name with a ‘better’ legacy so the Nobel Prize was born

But yeah, some money can literally rewrite history

Thankfully we got @wikipedia

On 30 April 1993, CERN's Directors declared that the three components of Web software (the basic line-mode client, the basic server and the library of common code) that Tim Berners-Lee @timbl had first proposed in 1989, were to be put in the Public Domain.

We are grateful to CERN and to Tim for this world changing decision which has enabled the W3C community to create open, accessible, international web standards which make the web work, for everyone.
