7 I thank everyone who has helped this project. Unfortunately, I cannot
8 thank everyone (bad memory). However, the AUTHORS file in the main source
9 code directory should include the names of all persons who have contributed
10 to the Bacula project. Just the same, I would like to include thanks below
11 to special contributors as well as to the major contributors to the current
14 Thanks to Richard Stallman for starting the Free Software movement and for
15 bringing us gcc and all the other GNU tools as well as the GPL license.
17 Thanks to Linus Torvalds for bringing us Linux.
19 Thanks to all the Free Software programmers. Without being able to peek at
20 your code, and in some cases, take parts of it, this project would have been
23 Thanks to John Walker for suggesting this project, giving it a name,
24 contributing software he has written, and for his programming efforts on
25 Bacula as well as having acted as a constant sounding board and source of
28 Thanks to the apcupsd project where I started my Free Software efforts, and
29 from which I was able to borrow some ideas and code that I had written.
31 Special thanks to D. Scott Barninger for writing the bacula RPM spec file,
32 building all the RPM files and loading them onto Source Forge. This has been a
35 Many thanks to Karl Cunningham for converting the manual from html format to
36 LaTeX. It was a major effort flawlessly done that will benefit the Bacula
37 users for many years to come. Thanks Karl.
39 Thanks to Dan Langille for the {\bf incredible} amount of testing he did on
40 FreeBSD. His perseverance is truly remarkable. Thanks also for the many
41 contributions he has made to improve Bacula (pthreads patch for FreeBSD,
42 improved start/stop script and addition of Bacula userid and group, stunnel,
43 ...), his continuing support of Bacula users. He also wrote the PostgreSQL
44 driver for Bacula and has been a big help in correcting the SQL.
46 Thanks to multiple other Bacula Packagers who make and release packages for
47 different platforms for Bacula.
49 Thanks to Christopher Hull for developing the native Win32 Bacula emulation
50 code and for contributing it to the Bacula project.
52 Thanks to Robert Nelson for bringing our Win32 implementation up to par
53 with all the same features that exist in the Unix/Linux versions. In
54 addition, he has ported the Director and Storage daemon to Win32!
56 Thanks to Thorsten Engel for his excellent knowledge of Win32 systems, and
57 for making the Win32 File daemon Unicode compatible, as well as making
58 the Win32 File daemon interface to Microsoft's Volume Shadow Copy (VSS).
59 These two are big pluses for Bacula!

62 data encryption code for Bacula.
64 Thanks to Arno Lehmann for his excellent and infatigable help and advice
67 Thanks to all the Bacula users, especially those of you who have contributed
68 ideas, bug reports, patches, and new features.
70 Bacula can be enabled with data encryption and/or communications
71 encryption. If this is the case, you will be including OpenSSL code that
72 that contains cryptographic software written by Eric Young
73 (eay@cryptsoft.com) and also software written by Tim Hudson
76 The original variable expansion code used in the LabelFormat comes from the
77 Open Source Software Project (www.ossp.org). It has been adapted and extended
78 for use in Bacula. This code is now deprecated.
80 There have been numerous people over the years who have contributed ideas,
81 code, and help to the Bacula project. The file AUTHORS in the main source
82 release file contains a list of contributors. For all those who I have
83 left out, please send me a reminder, and in any case, thanks for your
