## Contributor Hall of Fame

This page is dedicated to all the people who helped make rsyslog become a reality. Unfortunately, I have begun this page in July of 2007, long after the project started. I try to extract all past contributor information from CVS, readme's, code etc - but I may fail. If you contributed and do not find yourself listed below, please accept my sincere apologies and drop me a line.

Please also note that I will do the checks for past contributors once the current very busy development phase is over, so it may take a few weeks to fully populate this file.

Contributors are listed in alphabetical order. If I know an Alias only, that alias is used as heading. Else the real name is used. If I know first and last name, they are listed in that order ("Rainer Gerhards" and not "Gerhards, Rainer"). I tend to be sparse with information on contributors, at least without their permission. If you contribute, let me know if I may include your email and/or web page address.

Thanks to all past, present and future contributors!
