Thomas King is most recently known for his role in co-developingPBX-in-a-Flash having previously provided untiring efforts in fixingunstable versions of other distributions until concluding a more openapproach was in order. His first foray into Asterisk had been throughhis interest as an amateur radio operator. Tom is the past President of a Calgary-based software company involvedin complex .NET banking software. He has also taught various subjects atthe college level and developed curriculum still in use today. Tom has been involved with computers in all their forms starting on IBM S/360 punch cards in high achool and embracing the power ofUnix/Linux since those systems first became available.

We're also deeply grateful for the contributions of many, many others including the CentOS Development Team, the Asterisk Development Team and the FreePBX Development Team.Without their contributions to the open source community, PBX in aFlash obviously would not exist. And our special thanks to PhilippeLindheimer, the lead developer with the FreePBX Development Team. Hisfrequent counsel has helped immeasureably in moving the PBX in a Flashproject forward to where it is today.

Technical contributions from others are always welcomed. Comments and suggestionswhich advance the cause of simplifying the hurdles that invariablyconfront those just beginning a new technology project are encouraged.
