77
I thank everyone who has helped this project. Unfortunately, I cannot
78
thank everyone (bad memory). However, the AUTHORS file in the main source
79
code directory should include the names of all persons who have contributed
80
to the Bacula project. Just the same, I would like to include thanks below
81
to special contributors as well as to the major contributors to the current
85
Thanks to Richard Stallman for starting the Free Software movement and for
86
bringing us gcc and all the other GNU tools as well as the GPL license.
89
Thanks to Linus Torvalds for bringing us Linux.
92
Thanks to all the Free Software programmers. Without being able to peek at
93
your code, and in some cases, take parts of it, this project would have been
97
Thanks to John Walker for suggesting this project, giving it a name,
98
contributing software he has written, and for his programming efforts on
99
Bacula as well as having acted as a constant sounding board and source of
103
Thanks to the apcupsd project where I started my Free Software efforts, and
104
from which I was able to borrow some ideas and code that I had written.
107
Special thanks to D. Scott Barninger for writing the bacula RPM spec file,
108
building all the RPM files and loading them onto Source Forge. This has been a
112
Many thanks to Karl Cunningham for converting the manual from html format to
113
LaTeX. It was a major effort flawlessly done that will benefit the Bacula
114
users for many years to come. Thanks Karl.
117
Thanks to Dan Langille for the <B>incredible</B> amount of testing he did on
118
FreeBSD. His perseverance is truly remarkable. Thanks also for the many
119
contributions he has made to improve Bacula (pthreads patch for FreeBSD,
120
improved start/stop script and addition of Bacula userid and group, stunnel,
121
...), his continuing support of Bacula users. He also wrote the PostgreSQL
122
driver for Bacula and has been a big help in correcting the SQL.
125
Thanks to multiple other Bacula Packagers who make and release packages for
126
different platforms for Bacula.
129
Thanks to Christopher Hull for developing the native Win32 Bacula emulation
130
code and for contributing it to the Bacula project.
133
Thanks to Robert Nelson for bringing our Win32 implementation up to par
134
with all the same features that exist in the Unix/Linux versions. In
135
addition, he has ported the Director and Storage daemon to Win32!
138
Thanks to Thorsten Engel for his excellent knowledge of Win32 systems, and
139
for making the Win32 File daemon Unicode compatible, as well as making
140
the Win32 File daemon interface to Microsoft's Volume Shadow Copy (VSS).
141
These two are big pluses for Bacula!
144
Thanks to Landon Fuller for writing both the communications and the
145
data encryption code for Bacula.
148
Thanks to Arno Lehmann for his excellent and infatigable help and advice
152
Thanks to all the Bacula users, especially those of you who have contributed
153
ideas, bug reports, patches, and new features.
156
Bacula can be enabled with data encryption and/or communications
157
encryption. If this is the case, you will be including OpenSSL code that
158
that contains cryptographic software written by Eric Young
159
(eay@cryptsoft.com) and also software written by Tim Hudson
163
The Bat (Bacula Administration Tool) graphs are based in part on the work
164
of the Qwt project (http://qwt.sf.net).
167
The original variable expansion code used in the LabelFormat comes from the
168
Open Source Software Project (www.ossp.org). It has been adapted and extended
169
for use in Bacula. This code is now deprecated.
172
There have been numerous people over the years who have contributed ideas,
173
code, and help to the Bacula project. The file AUTHORS in the main source
174
release file contains a list of contributors. For all those who I have
175
left out, please send me a reminder, and in any case, thanks for your
179
Thanks to the Free Software Foundation Europe e.V. for assuming the
180
responsibilities of protecting the Bacula copyright.
