Acknowledgements

This project is the result of years of work by many individuals and companies. Many of them are listed within the source code, CREDITS file, release notes, and mailing list archives, but some prefer to be anonymous. This software would not be possible without their help.

Development contributions

Many people have written or tweaked the software; the drivers, clients, server and documentation have all received valuable attention from numerous sources. The CREDITS file is not linked here because it contains several tasty e-mail addresses that spam harvesters would love to have. To see this file, grab a tarball and look inside.

Pavel Korensky's original apcd provided the inspiration for pursuing APC's smart protocol in 1996.

Fenton Technologies contributed a PowerPal 660 to the development process for the fentonups driver and provided the official Megatec protocol and official specifications on various Fenton models. Trivia note: they also did the first public demo of NUT at Comdex in 1999.

Bo Kirsey of VirCIO contributed a Best Power Fortress 750 for the development of the bestups driver.

Invensys Energy Systems (Best Power/SOLA) provided the PhoenixTec protocol specification for their equipment.

PowerKinetics technical support provided documentation on their MiniCOL protocol.

Eric Lawson provided scans of the OneAC protocol.

John Marley used OCR software to transform the SEC protocol scans into a HTML document, since it's hard to grep a bitmap.

Chris McKinnon scanned and converted the Fortress protocol documentation.

Cyber Power Systems contributed a 700AVR model for testing and driver development.

MGE MGE UPS SYSTEMS provided extensive technical documents for their UPS product line, along with many units for development of NUT-related projects. The company also sponsored and later hired Arnaud Quette to further officially support these efforts.

Several drivers such as mge-utalk, mge-shut, snmp-ups, hidups, and newhidups are the result of this collaboration, in addition to the WMNut, HID Parser and libhid projects. The features page has improved artwork thanks to Luc and Arnaud of MGE. Other client projects such as KNutClient have also received assistance.

The original EU mirror and several related projects are hosted on MGE's equipment at no cost to the project. More information on their open source support can be found on their web site.

Liebert Corporation supplied serial test boxes and a UPStation GXT2 with the Web/SNMP card for development of the liebert driver and expansion of the existing snmp-ups driver.

Tank provided documentation on the Belkin/Delta protocol.

Potrans provided a Fenton PowerPal 600 (P series) for development of the safenet driver.

Other entries

If a company or individual isn't listed here, then I probably don't have enough information about the situation. Developers are requested to report vendor contributions to me so this list may reflect their help. If I've left you out, send me some mail.

Notes on logos

Any company logos displayed here are present as a gesture of appreciation for contributions and development towards the project. Small logos that are simple may be added at the discretion of the coordinator.
