30 years ago this past week, Brigada was born! Way back then, the web was still in its infancy. Brigada took the shape of a stack of email distribution groups. Many were regionally specific, not unlike the new “Lausanne Action Hub” launched this past fall in Seoul at Lausanne 4. But there was a “top-level” group simply called Brigada – and that umbrella group has survived (and has kept on surviving) through more than 1500 weekly editions. It’s the very one you’re reading today! Learn more about Brigada by reading the “About” page — https://brigada.org/about. Believe it or not, there are actually a good number of Brigada participants who have been a part of the family from the very beginning, all the way back to January 1995! (You guys deserve a medal!) Today, Brigada is both a weekly email magazine and a website where each of the weekly editions are archived from the entire 30 years — over 1500 weekly e-zines you can still read today. If you’re one of the pioneers, feel free to comment on this item and tell your story about Brigada. Either way, thanks for being part of the Brigada family! And by the way, I (Doug) would like to thank you for your faithful support through all these years of stories about soccer, the USSR, language-learning, cool tools, and a lot more. We appreciate you!
