20th Anniversary Media Coverage
It is our opinion that the historical 20th anniversary is significantly more important than our celebration of it. As such, we encourage anyone who intends reporting on this to cover the historical aspects rather than the event we're hosting (although a passing mention might be nice).
Information about press releases can be found here.
