Who are we?*

• Cygwin was initially developed by Cygnus Solutions (Now Red Hat, Inc.) but the majority of package maintainership and a significant percentage of Cygwin development is handled by non-Red Hat volunteers.
• Corinna Vinschen (corinna) is the project lead. Corinna is a senior Red Hat engineer.
• Like many free software projects on sourceware.org, contributions from the online community are especially important.

  Cygwin has benefited from the efforts of many testers and contributors, including some incredible people like Sergey Okhapkin, Egor Duda, Chuck Wilson, David Starks-Browning, Kazuhiro Fujieda, Jason Tishler, Robert Collins, David Billinghurst, Joshua Daniel Franklin, Chris January, Conrad Scott, Pavel Tsekov, Pierre Humblet, Igor Peshansky, Brian Dessent, Brian Ford, Jari Aalto, Ken Brown, Marco Atzeri and many others, whose efforts are commemorated with Gold Stars.

* Please note that all of the people above prefer that project related communications go to the proper mailing list rather than private email.
