Also, from Canonical/Ubuntu, many thanks to Jono, Jane, and a few others whose names escape us at the moment.
Thanks to Hyperic, John Mark's employer, for paying people to work on free software.
And most of all, thanks to Mark for starting the Ubuntu project, and thanks to everyone that has participated thus far.
