[Pisistrate <pisistrate.yade@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

As this new release takes off, I just wanted to say a few words.
When SDEC started in 1990 I was alone working on it, before I asked 
Olivier Galizzi to restructure it completely during his PhD (which he 
never defended alas) to build up an open source project. Janek then 
joined us and gave so much to make this project viable. Then Vasclav 
came along and spent so much time with devotion to give this project a 
mature level. Bruno, Anton and Serguei (whom I never had the pleasure of 
meeting) and all of you, play the game of the open source spirit, 
helping each other, developing to offer the best for the scientific 
community, and every one else by asking questions, debugging, testing, 
getting results, publishing, you are all doing a fantastic job. 
Everybody plays a key role.
Even though I have not been part of the development game for many years, 
now when I see what you have done, I am not only proud but fully amazed 
by what you have achieved and what you are still doing. Please keep this 
spirit of the open source development for your benefit and the benefit 
of the community.
What I see now is far beyond what I could dream of ten years ago.

Thank you so much,

Frederic Donze.
