There are too many people who have helped since GDAL/OGR was launched in
late 1998 for me to thank them all. I have received moral support,
financial support, code contributions, sample datasets, and bug reports
from literally hundreds of people. However, below I would like to single
out a few people and organizations who have supported GDAL over the
years. Forgive me for all those I left out.
