It's super cool that Subversion's birthday is Leap Day 2000. [1]

I think it's a great idea to celebrate with a press release.

Let me know how I can help.

[1] That day is cool for a variety of reasons. It's the year 2000. It
has a leap day, contrary to most years divisible by 100 (because it's
also divisible by 400 [2]). And it's the birthday of the best version
control system ever!
