It takes a village March 14, 2022 on Drew DeVault's blog

As a prolific maintainer of several dozen FOSS projects, I’m often asked how I can get so much done, being just one person. The answer is: I’m not just one person. I have enjoyed the help of thousands of talented people who have contributed to these works. Without them, none of the projects I work on would be successful.

I’d like to take a moment to recognize and thank all of the people who have participated in these endeavours. If you’ve enjoyed any of the projects I’ve worked on, you owe thanks to some of these wonderful people. The following is an incomplete list of authors who have contributed to one or more of the projects I have started:

Conjuring a Linux distribution out of thin air

I decided I had to get something with slightly more CPU power than my Thinkpad x230 for a few tasks so I got a refurbished x280, aside from the worse keyboard the laptop is pretty nice and light. It shipped with Windows of course so the first thing I did …
