Here is the network that brought dpa and CoreMedia together: Christian Volbracht, one of the chief editors at dpa, wanted to publish information regarding his library of great mushroom books on the Internet. The Internet was the latest buzzword in 1995. He asked Christoph Dernbach for help since Christoph was dpa's IT reporter and therefore very well respected for his insights into IT. Christoph asked Nastaran Matthes, who he knew trough his wife Claudia Musekamp for support. Nastaran, who studied computer science at the University of Hamburg, told Florian Matthes about dpa's request and Florian finally told me about it. However, at the time when I met the team at dpa, the mushrooms were off the table and dpa's future in the Internet era was on the agenda. Thank you all, it has been amazing ever since!
