+Node has become one of the biggest success stories and failures of open source.
+In January of 2014 a bounch of active contributors to the Node.js project became
+increasingly conserned about the decrease in contibutors and new realses of Node.js.
+
+At this time Node.js was run by Joyent with the BDFL model. A the concerned
+contributors asked Joyent if they (the community) could take over Node.js and
+started a process. It was rocky and a bit up and down. Joyent got a new CEO,
+Scot Hammond, and he got involved and built out an Advicory Board.
+
+But the progress slow and involved a bounch of involved companies getting
+together in a room and trying to solve the various problems. The big probelm
+with this process was that the open source contributors of the open source
+community was left out and was not not in a positition to fix the problem with
+Node.js slowing down. Having a room full of companies does not fix that.
+
+Around the same time as the Node.js Avisory Board was fomalized a project named
+Node Forward was initiated. Node Forward would try to formalize and galvanize
+some of the problems around some of the higher level problems of Node.js. For a
+short time there was a fork of Node.js landing patches. Node Forward was
+informed by Joyent (who owned the trademarks to Node.js) that the fork was a
+trade mark violation whiched forces Node Forward to make the fork private.
+
+Fedor Indutny (a core contributor to Node.js and a member of the Node Forward)
+pushed the fork button on GitHub and renamed the fork io.js which would not
+infringe on the Node.js trademark. Within a short period of time the rest of the
+active contributors moved to the io.js fork, except for those emplyed by Joyent ofcours.
