I’d like to take a moment to thank the members of the open source community. Without your impressive expertise and the amazing selflessness with which you share your work, the landscape of the software industry would be markedly different. The principals cultivated by the OS community have already found their way into other disciplines including music and media and I truly believe it is a meme that will benefit the human race for a very long time.

This website is possible because of the work committed to the following projects (apologies to any contributors I will undoubtedly miss).

• CentOS for the Linux distribution that lays the foundation for the following components
• Apache Software Foundation for the web server that serves up these pages
• MySQL for the database in which the most of the pages are stored
• Wordpress for a superior blogging framework
• 1000ff for the basis of this Wordpress theme
• PHP for the scripting language utilized by Wordpress
• NextGEN Gallery for the Wordpress plugin that manages the photos
• IE6 No More for organizing the effort to purge the world of a outmoded browser
• While not technically open source, the photographers Catherine Wygal & Curious Josh are to thank for any photos on this site of any quality.
