 If you're new to MQTT, we recommend reading the [HiveMQ MQTT essentials](https://www.hivemq.com/mqtt-essentials/) guide as an introduction. Afterward, the [OASIS specification](https://docs.oasis-open.org/mqtt/mqtt/v5.0/mqtt-v5.0.html) is a great reference. For asyncio, we recommend the [RealPython asyncio walkthrough](https://realpython.com/async-io-python/) as an introduction and the [asyncio docs](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio.html) as a reference.
 
 Thanks for being part of our community! ☀️

+```{admonition} A little bit of history
+Frederik ([@frederikaalund](https://github.com/frederikaalund)) started aiomqtt to power bacteria sensors at [SBT Instruments](https://sbtinstruments.com/). One of his central ideas for the project was to use [structured concurrency](https://vorpus.org/blog/notes-on-structured-concurrency-or-go-statement-considered-harmful/) principles. At first, the project was called asyncio-mqtt, until Jonathan ([@mossblaser](https://github.com/mossblaser)) graciously offered to pass along the aiomqtt name. In August 2024, Frederik passed on aiomqtt's stewardship to Felix ([@empicano](https://github.com/empicano)) due to changing priorities and to better serve the project overall.
