10 (in no particular order)
28 I would particularly like to recognize:
31 - first financial supporter of Ardour,
32 instigator of ardour/ksi.
34 Ron Parker (Minneapolis, MN)
35 - first user of Ardour in a commercial studio,
36 financial contributor, major initiator of
37 MTC and MMC functionality.

47 - provided continuous, excellent design insights and

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