Title: SPECIAL THANKS TO THE FOLLOWING:
Post by: RobertM on 2007.10.30, 03:12:13
Hey all, I mentioned something similar in a Poll post, as Thomas (warpcafe) did in this post (General observation on the worldview of eCS) (http://www.os2world.com/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,63/topic,487.0/)

So, I decided to start a list of all those whose efforts I appreciate in the eCS Development/Support community. Please add anyone who's efforts you appreciate, and a little about what they did to earn that appreciation (as my list is far from complete even from my own perspective).

In no particular order:

MY SINCERE THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR HELP, EFFORTS AND CONTRIBUTIONS!

And to many others that I can't remember at the moment...

-Robert

Marty Amodeo: MrMessage, one of the only Oscar clients in eCS's future
Paul Ratcliffe: Warpin contrib, TOP, Xworkplace contrib. All things that make using eCS easy and fluid.
Whoever wrote Arcview

Whoever works on the OpenOffice port

Hi

Mine isn't an individual list, but I will really like to thank all OS/2 Developers that are involved in open source projects. Their dedication to their projects had made a difference for the OS/2 Community.

My dream is to have someday a complete open source OS/2, not only to have the source code available to the public, but to completely have vendor independence and ensure the future of the platform. I even listed on my wiki a list of Open Source OS/2 projects (http://www.os2world.com/components/com_mambowiki/index.php/Open_Source_OS/2-eCS_Software) hoping that possible someday can be made an open source distribution of OS/2.

As a dedicated lurker this is my first try at submitting a comment but I just have to acknowledge all those of you who can and do write the programs, without which I would no longer be using what is the best opsys I have ever used.  I expect to be using it for some time yet, so again my thanks to all those listed earlier and keep up the good work.
