Merry Christmas!
Again we’re coming close to December the 24th, a day many people will spend with their families or friends to celebrate. I want to use this Christmas to say thank you to a couple of persons that helped me a lot the last years, either directly or indirectly due to their tremendous work in the Open Source community.
First of all I want to thank you Georg Brandl, who you thought me a lot about Python’s internals. You had an answer to pretty all of my questions and you were the first person I worked with on a real Open Source project. Even though we still don’t have Pocoo released it was great fun to work with you.
Thank you Benjamin Wiegand, Christoph Hack and Christopher Grebs for all your code contributions and your work on Pocoo and the Pocoo libraries.
A big thank you to the whole ubuntuusers team, also those of you who left the team in the past. We had many problems in the past but I looking back those three years I think most of the time we worked together in the past were plesant :-)
Thank you Marek Kubica for all those nice discussions we’ve had. And thanks for your work on the German Python community and your patches to the Pocoo libraries. I guess the python forum and wiki wouldn’t be the same without you.
Of course a big thank you to Alexander Schremmer who keeps the pocoo server running. Learned a lot from you :-)
Also a big thank you to Fritz Cizmarov who introduced me to ubuntu. Unfortunately he passed away two years ago but I’ll never forget him.
I also want to thank Mike Bayers for his work on SQLAlchemy which I use on a daily basis, all the guys over at edgewall for Genshi and Trac, the mercurial people for their ass-kicking DVCS, Martijn Faassen for lxml and all the people working on ubuntu.
Keep up the good work and Merry Christmas to you all!
