You are the thing that made my professional career and brought me where I am now.” - Alex “My favourite story was back in the days after Selenium 2 release. Someone joined the Selenium IRC in a panic going "Help! I have an interview about Selenium in a few hours and I don't know how to program!" Simon, Jim, me, and nearly everyone in the IRC channel helped him learn everything he needed for his interview. I don't remember if they ever came back to update us. I also remember someone asking how do they test their database with Selenium” - David “The people and community around the project have been one of the most uplifting things I’ve been part of, and I’d like to thank everyone who’s been part of it over all these years.” - Simon
