Having grown up in Southern California near NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Behlendorf became interested in the early development of the Internet while he was a student at the University of California-Berkeley in the early '90s. One of his first programming projects was an email list and online music resource, SFRaves.org, which a friend persuaded him to start in 1992. Behlendorf was an early participant and the chief technology guru for the Burning Man festival, and later founded a larger online music resource, Hyperreal.org.
In 1993, Behlendorf and Jonathan Nelson co-founded Organic, Inc., the first business dedicated to building commercial web sites. While developing the first online, for-profit, media project -- the HotWired web site for Wired Magazine -- in 1994, they realized that the most commonly used web server software at the time (developed at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) could not handle the user registration system that the company required. So, Behlendorf patched the open-source code to support HotWired's requirements.
It turned out that Behlendorf wasn't the only one busy patching the NCSA code at the time, and he and Cliff Skolnick put together a mailing list to coordinate the work of the other programmers.
