(*) With an exception for Olivier Galizzi, who commited a lot in early days of Yade but left development very soon after. he is listed in "Founders" below.

IT Support

Rémi Cailletaud, IT Engineer From: Lab 3SR - CNRS - Grenoble Contribution: Automatic builds, web hosting, in-house HPC support.

Founders

Frédéric Victor Donzé, Professor From: University Joseph Fourier, Grenoble Contribution: author of SDEC (Yade is SDEC's reincarnation), gave us formulation of DEM, lots of great ideas and constructive criticism,	Olivier Galizzi, 2 retired PhD student From: EVASION / GRAVIR - IMAG, Institute of Informatics and Applied Mathematics in Grenoble Contribution: Started yade project, QT, openGL, plugin handling, documentation, then abadoned yade.
Janek Kozicki 2, PhD From: GUT Civil Engineering, L3S Contribution: Started yade project with Olivier, C++ design, multimethods, maintaining the project

Benefactors

Félix Darve, Professor From: Lab 3SR - INP Grenoble Contribution: provided funding for our project from various european research programs

François Faure, Assistant professor From: University Joseph Fourier, INRIA, Grenoble Contribution: Promoter of Olivier Galizzi's PhD, comments about C++ design
