10 (in no particular order)
27 I would particularly like to recognize:
30 - first financial supporter of Ardour,
31 instigator of ardour/ksi.
33 Ron Parker (Minneapolis, MN)
34 - first user of Ardour in a commercial studio,
35 financial contributor, major initiator of

46 - provided continuous, excellent design insights and

50 I would also like to thank Jim Hamilton of Rittenhouse Recording,
51 Philadelphia, for the partnership, friendship and foresight he showed
52 in allowing me to use the studio as the development basis for
53 Ardour. I met Jim playing a jazz drumkit at a fundraiser to celebrate
54 the 30th anniversary of our children's nursery school. Since then, he
55 has continued to open my eyes to both music itself, the process of
56 making music, and the life of a working musician. Jim's the best and
57 most inventive percussionist I have ever seen, and one of the best
58 I've ever heard. He has always believed in the social and philosphical
59 implications of Ardour, and his support and interest have been vital
60 in Ardour's development. Although as of this writing, Rittenhouse
61 Recording is not running Ardour, its only a matter of time!
