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.

Contributors
The 1060 NetKernel concept owes a great deal either directly, indirectly or subliminally to the following
individuals. Thanks.
Dr Russell Perry HP 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 Sellman HP 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 HPLB HP 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" Erickson HP Labs
Enthusiasm. Ideas. Beer. And lots and lots and lots of talking. Reality! Reality! * Reality!
Steve Loughran HP 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 Researchers HP 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

in a very big organisation.
Bob Bickel (ex)HP Middleware Chief
Wisdom, Inspiration. You'd have been a great customer.

Without the support of the following people the NetKernel would be in a dusty filing cabinet.
