Previous Dedications of CeroWrt

Present release

The present release of CeroWrt is dedicated to the memory of Dion L. Johnson III, the “Czar of Free Stuff”, who introduced me to the concept of a “Skunkworks” with Skunkware and ended up helping me get my first job in the Unix industry. The skunkware team kept the company relevant, and nobody cared, except for Ezekiel Kludge . I am grateful for everything Dion taught me, that I’ve passed down, in building the bufferbloat effort and the CeroWrt team.

I only wish we had a hot tub still, to hang out in.

CeroWrt 3.7.5 and prior were dedicated to the memories of:

John H Dubois , who spread email and netnews through Santa Cruz, Ca, and The Armory geekhouse , spent many lonely years building an entire OS all by himself, and to his Liquid nitrogen ice cream that he brought to Burning man every year.

Richard Pitt , who helped bring the Internet to western Canada , wrote the Digital Rag and put webcams in eagles nests .

And:

Ronald Täht , who taught me more than he ever understood.
