Today, 28th of december 2012, the RING turns 2 years old!
The project's origins can be traced back to the following
line on IRC (translated): 

    [28 Dec 2010/10:26 CET - #NLNOG]
    "hey, maybe we should create a #nlnog test platform"

And now here we are, 2 years later: 188 machines provided by
165 organisations in 39 countries. Compared to 2011 we have
more than doubled in size!
