In this paper, we present the birth, growth, and maturation of Aspect-Oriented Software Development (AOSD) research over the last years, with emphasis on the Brazilian AOSD community and its research contributions. These research contributions are illustrated from different perspectives: (i) an overview of the research work developed by our community in several prominent software engineering areas; (ii) a historical chronology of the community; and (iii) the growth, impact and quality of research outcomes.
