+<h2>Samba Notes Passing a Milestone</h2>
+
+<p>
+Perhaps this has happened to you...  You're cruising down the highway
+on a long roadtrip when a sleepy voice from the back seat pipes up to
+say "We just passed a sign that says there was a historic battle
+here". You keep on driving, but maybe you think about how that battle
+may have changed history, and how the two sides have managed to
+resolve their differences and have moved forward since then.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+If you follow the Samba Technical Mailing List (and who doesn't, I
+mean really), you may have noted a patch submission that came in on
+October 10th, 2011. As often happens, a couple of developers at a
+company found a way to improve core Samba code. They got permission to
+submit the patches under their own copyright and the terms of the GPL,
+and they sent the patches in.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+It happens all the time in Samba, and we are always grateful.  The
+only notable thing in this particular case is the company for which
+those developers work: Microsoft.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+A few years back, a patch submission from coders at Microsoft would
+have been amazing to the point of unthinkable, but the battles are
+mostly over and times have changed. We still disagree on some things
+such as the role of software patents in preventing the creation of
+innovative software; but Microsoft is now at the forefront of efforts
+to build a stronger community and improve interoperability in the SMB
+world.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Most people didn't even notice the source of the contribution.  That's
+how far things have come in the past four-ish years.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+...but some of us saw this as a milestone, and wanted to make a point of
+expressing our appreciation for the patch and the changes we have seen.
