Acknowledgments

Creating and growing open source projects and communities takes a village. Throughout this book, we reference projects, processes, books, reports, best practices, and all forms of contributions developed by foundations, companies, communities, and individuals. We trust that these will be incredibly valuable resources on your open source journey and will provide the additional depth needed on each topic.

On this, the twentieth anniversary of open source, we’d like to acknowledge our deepest thanks to every individual member of an open source community who has contributed to open source in any way for their significant and valuable contributions, in sharing code, tools, lessons, practices, processes, and advocacy for open source for the benefit of all.

We’d also like to thank our reviewers who made extensive comments and helpful suggestions—Cecilia Donnelly, Karl Fogel, James Vasile, Chris Aniszczyk, Deborah Nicholson, Shane Coughlan, Ricardo Sueiras, Henri Yandell, and Adrian Cockcroft. And finally, thanks to both the O’Reilly Media and AWS teams for supporting this book to bring these resources together.
