Where did 51Degrees come from?

So, it started really properly in 2009 when my eldest daughter was born. She's now 16, so we've been going for 16 years as the brand 51Degrees. And she slept very well. I took some time off work to kind of be a good dad. And this open source project that became known as 51Degrees was something I worked on in my spare time. It gained some traction and the business has really grown from there. We chose the name. Because it's the northern latitude of where I live in Reading, with the intention of always changing it later. But the name has stuck, so here we are.
