Especially all that don't work on QEMU as their main job but still take the time to send in occasional bug fixes or to implement cool new features. QEMU has grown from a hobby project of a small group of people to a de-facto standard in Open Source emulation; in particular virtualization in the enterprise requiring a robust out-of-the-box solution on one hand, and as an Open Source project allowing customizable cores and boards for the embedded industry on the other, appear to have largely contributed to that success. For a fact there has been a large increase in mailing list volume over time [2], so bear with us and the processes we have put in place to help handle this; your contributions are truly appreciated! And if patches appear to fall through the cracks, don't be discouraged and remind us, so that we can figure out some solution and make QEMU suitable for use cases we might have not yet run into or thought of ourselves. If you're not a contributor yet but still like our Free Software as is, feel encouraged to share your appreciation in your blog, on social media or in a talk, sharing with the world how QEMU helps you. :-) Best regards, Andreas [1] http://fsfe.org/campaigns/ilovefs/2014/ilovefs.en.html [2] http://gmane.org/plot-rate.php?group=3Dgmane.comp.emulators.qemu --=20 SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 N=FCrnberg, Germany GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imend=F6rffer; HRB 16746 AG N=FCrnbe= rg
