Open Sourcerors

High quality software infrastructure cannot exist without the contributions of hundreds of people. The 1060 NetKernel is a fundamental technology that would be valueless without the work of many groups and individuals whose technologies are supported as components by the NetKernel.

Thanks to the developers, the testers, the user community. We've tried to cover everyone but if we overlooked someone please let us know.

Software Licensing terms for these components are provided here.

Contributors

The 1060 NetKernel concept owes a great deal either directly, indirectly or subliminally to the following individuals. Thanks.

Dr Russell PerryHP Labs Russ started the ball rolling and got it half way up the hill. We owe you but you owe us many hours of painful debug!
Dr Royston SellmanHP Labs For ballast and 'new' ideas that we know only occurred because you're old enough to remember all this stuff the first time round. You're not as clever as Russ but you're much better at Crosswords.
Robin Gallimore - Director HPLBHP Labs For supporting us against the tide and for the wisdom to release us into the wild and for not giving pjr LBW so many times
Dr John "Rocketboy" EricksonHP Labs Enthusiasm. Ideas. Beer. And lots and lots and lots of talking. Reality! Reality! * Reality!
Steve LoughranHP Labs/HP Corvallis For sharing everything he doesn't know about webservice development and some of the stuff he does. General support services and attitude. Please buy his book on Ant.
Top ResearchersHP Labs Thanks to Dr Bill Wickes, Dave Banks, Dr Poorvi Vora, Dr Phil Stenton, Dr Dave Reynolds, Dr Stuart Williams, Dr Martin Merry, Nick Wainwright
Bruce Perens(ex)HP Opensource Guru For brief conversations on the way to do opensource inside HP. And for stirring up opensource ideas in a very big organisation.
Bob Bickel(ex)HP Middleware Chief Wisdom, Inspiration. You'd have been a great customer.
