This is a reminder.

On Tue, 21 Dec 1993 09:05:46 +0200, Linus Torvalds spake thus (in part):
+---------------
|.... [the credits file compilator] is not supposed to
|need to go looking for people to credit: anybody who thinks he is worth
|mentioning should mail him with an entry. 
|
|Note: you don't need to be a *kernel* developer to be on the credits
|list, and doing something like maintaining the compiler/library for
|[some time] makes for credit indeed.  You know what you have done
|yourself. 
|
|The email address of [the compilator] is jmartin@csc.com: I'm sure he'll 
|post reminders on the KERNEL list every now and then.  I'll include my 
|entry as an example (easy to grep for names etc), ....
|

N: Linus Torvalds
E: Linus.Torvalds@Helsinki.FI

S: Pietarinkatu 2 A 2

S: Finland
|----- end of my entry -----
|(N - name, E - email, D - description (1-3 lines or so), N+S =
|snailmail.  Anything else?)
+--------------- end of Linus' missive ----------

It will be helpful if you place only one address on an "E:" line and if
you use more than one "E:" line please place them in descending order of
importance.  Please also place only one item on a "D:" line and if you 
use more than one "D:" line, please place them also in descending order 
of importance.

On Sunday, 20 Feb 94, I sent a response to those for whom I have entries.
If I should have an entry for you and you have not received a
verification from me, please email me.
