|

|
||||
This project is the result of years of work by many individuals and companies.
|
||||
|
||||
Many people have written or tweaked the software; the drivers, clients, server
|
||||
and documentation have all received valuable attention from numerous sources.
|
||||
|
||||
Many of them are listed within the source code, AUTHORS file, release notes, and
|
||||
mailing list archives, but some prefer to be anonymous.
|
||||
This software would not be possible without their help.

Our main supporter: Eaton
|

-------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Through the acquisition of MGE Office Protection Systems (a carve out of
|
||||
the MGE UPS SYSTEMS small systems, up to 10 KVA), Eaton has been supporting
|
||||
NUT, and more generally the Free/Libre Opensource Software Community
|
||||
since around 2002.
|
||||
|
||||
This support includes the following actions:
|
||||
|
||||
- providing extensive technical documents (Eaton protocols library),
|
||||
- providing units to developers of NUT and related projects,
|
||||
- hosting the networkupstools.org webserver,
|
||||
- providing artwork,
|
||||
- promoting NUT in general.
|
||||

Older entries (before 2005)
|
||||
---------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
- MGE UPS SYSTEMS was the previous NUT sponsor. They provided protocols
|
||||
information, many units for development of NUT-related projects.
|
||||
Several drivers such as mge-utalk, mge-shut, snmp-ups, hidups, and usbhid-ups
|
||||
are the result of this collaboration, in addition to the WMNut, MGE HID Parser
|
||||
the libhid projects, ... through Arnaud.
|
||||
All the MGE supporters have now gone with Eaton (through MGE Office
|
||||
Protection Systems), which is the new NUT sponsor.
|
||||
|
||||
- Fenton Technologies contributed a PowerPal 660 to the project. Their open
|
||||
stance and quick responses to technical inquiries were appreciated for
|
||||
making the development of the fentonups driver possible.
|
||||
Fenton has since been acquired by link:http://www.metapo.com[Metapo].
|
||||
|
||||
- Bo Kersey of link:http://www.vircio.com[VirCIO] provided a Best Power Fortress
|
||||
750 to facilitate the bestups driver.
|
||||
|
||||
- Invensys Energy Systems provided the SOLA/Best "Phoenixtec" protocol
|
||||
document. SOLA has since been acquired by Eaton.
|
||||
|
||||
- PowerKinetics technical support provided documentation on their MiniCOL
|
||||
protocol, which is archived in the NUT protocol library.
|
||||
PowerKinetics was acquired by the link:http://www.jst.cc[JST Group] in June 2003.
|
||||
|
||||
- link:http://www.cyberpowersystems.com[Cyber Power Systems] contributed a
|
||||
700AVR model for testing and development of the cyberpower driver.
|
||||
|
||||
- link:http://www.liebert.com[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.
|
||||
Liebert has since been acquired by link:http://www.emerson.com[Emerson].

enough information about the situation. Developers are requested to report vendor

contributions to the NUT team so this list may reflect their help.
