About This Siteslashdot.org is brought to you by a host of cool people. It is owned and maintained by Rob Malda [ http://www.cs.hope.edu/~malda ]. Thanks go out to Dave DeMaagd [ http://www.cs.hope.edu/~demaagd ] for helping out with some of the early perl coding. Thanks go to Mythical Solutions [ http://www.mythic.net/ ] for backup DNS hosting, and my employer, TheImageGroup [ http://www.imagegroup.com/ ] for letting me run this on a machine plugged into the office T1.
In addition to the techies, the regular list of contributors consist of myself: Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda [ http://slashdot.org:80/malda ], Jeff "Hemos" Bates [ hemos@slashdot.org ], Kristof "Aeneas" Van Damme [ aeneas@sesuadra.org ], Justin Maurer [ http://slashdot.org:80/~slashdot/justin.html ], Del "mojoski" Simmons [ http://www.mojoski.com/ ], and the tons of people who e-mail stories.. Thanks go to them for helping make this site the cool place that it is.
Other creds: The cool Wilber the Gimp image was by Tuomas Kuosmanen [ http://tigert.gimp.org/ ] and the famous Tux Linux Penguin is a creation of Larry Ewing. Anything that is copyrighted or trademarked or registered to anyone else is their's. I claim ownership of only the handful of original images I created...
If I left anyone out... please don't hesitate to yell and I'll add you to the list.
