Hey all, I mentioned something similar in a Poll post, as Thomas (warpcafe) did in this post (General observation on the worldview of eCS)

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:

  • Peter Weilbacher - for his wonderful enhanced Mozilla App ports
  • Mike Kaply - for his ongoing efforts and ports of the official Mozilla Builds
  • Paul Smedley - for too many ports to mention (including RxSQL, ffMPEG, VirtualBox, various games)
  • Evgeny Gorbunov - for numerous drivers and apps on eCoSoft
  • Kim Haverblad and the rest of the OS/2World Team - for keeping this wonderful place running
  • Netlabs - for their ongoing porting and hosting efforts for many packages I run
  • Mensys & BMTMicro - for maintaining and selling numerous OS/2 apps and utilities I cant do without
  • NUMEROUS people in these forums - for responding to questions and posts with thought out, helpful answers
  • Mark Dodel, Mike Greene, Martin Iturbide and many others - for keeping us up to date on numerous news items, software releases and more
  • The OS/2 Voice, BayWarp and SCOUG Groups - for their newsletters, and information & tips on OS/2
  • Peter Koller - for Maul and other utilities and apps.
  • Chuck McKinnis - for helping keep OS/2 able to connect to the world (NicPak) and for the eCS Maint Tool
  • Jan van Wijk - Making and maintaining versions of DFSee that work with, and on OS/2
  • Christian Langanke - for his works on NetLabs and the Wireless Lan Monitor, and numerous other apps and tools
  • Alex Taylor - For a large collection of tools, utilities and updated documentation
  • KO Myung-Hun - for a working mPlayer for OS/2 (UPDATED TODAY, BTW - CHECK HOBBES)

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

Daniela Eglert (spelling?): Dani drivers, the only way we can use eCS on modern IDE and SATA setups.
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.

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 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.
