Many people for the fortune files contents, though the following people stand out:
- Eric S. Raymond
- Mike Gancarz
- Doug McIlroy
- Peter H. Salus
- Brian Kernighan
- Rob Pike
- and, of course, last but by no means least, Dennis M. Ritchie and Ken Thompson, without whom none of this would have been possible !
