“...organizations which design systems ... are constrained to produce designs which are copies of the communication structures of these organizations.” Conway’s Law
“It seems about time to put an end to the absurd situation where each site on the network must maintain a different, generally out-of-date, host list for the use of its own operating system or user programs. For example, each of the sites to which I have access has a slightly different mapping between host names and host addresses: none is complete, and I believe each one differs in some way from the official list. Since the NIC has responsibility for maintaining the official list, it seems appropriate for them to maintain an on-line file, accessible to anyone, which lists names and host addresses in an easily machine- readable form.” L. Peter Deutsch (1973), RFC 606
“The United States Government intends to preserve the security and stability of the Internet's Domain Name and Addressing System (DNS). Given the Internet's importance to the world's economy, it is essential that the underlying DNS of the Internet remain stable and secure. As such, the United States is committed to taking no action that would have the potential to adversely impact the effective and efficient operation of the DNS and will therefore maintain its historic role in authorizing changes or modifications to the authoritative root zone file.” U.S. Principles on the Internet's Domain Name and Addressing System

“It started as the typical ‘programmer's itch’ -- having multiple friends on different IM services, and in general just seeing all the possibilities for extending an IM platform if it were open. Once I got started, I quickly realized the immense power of an open extensible real-time messaging network, and it grew quickly from there.” Jeremie Miller
