Over its almost two decade of development, many people have contributed to the development of MonetDB, as architects, code developers or as guinea pigs, while developing applications on top of the often fragile code base. MonetDB wouldn't have come to life without this dedication and involvement. Their names should be engraved in stone, but bits is all we have.
