Lars Kähler, the initiator of Global Type, would like to thank the following persons for their support:
Kai vom Hofe, programmer – Preetz, Germany
While walking round the Lanker See at Preetz in Northern Germany, we have had long discussions about the basic idea. He gave me a lot of inspiration. The basic idea of using a time axis in combination with that model came from Kai.
Christoph Gollnast, layouter – Lübeck, Germany
Christoph did the web design for the first versions, without that a discussion about the first ideas wouldn’t have been possible.
Gero Burmester, typesetter – Lübeck, Germany
We have worked for several years in the same advertising agency, and your kind of criticism was what I needed. Thank you for looking regularly at the progress of my project idea.
Gisela Will, layouter and type designer – Hamburg, Germany
Without your encouraging to present my project idea to the ATypI community – maybe, I wouldn’t have found that way. It was helpful too that you saw the core idea during my first confusing presentation at Forum Typografie in Hamburg.
Wilfried Kähler, philosopher – Rendsburg, Germany
It was my father and his wife who read the concept carefully in different states of progress as well as the website. I want to thank you for encouraging me to keep on working at the project idea against some resentiments in my own family.
Prof. Luc Devroye, professor in arithmetics – Montreal, Canada
I would like to thank Luc for reading and answering every single eMail I wrote to him. In a way, he is the “spiritus rector” of my project, giving me elementary ideas of what could be done better and translating a part of the text. Also, he said I should respect the complexity of the project idea.
Thomas Brückhändler, programmer – Hamburg, Germany
Since the summer of 2006, Thomas is responsible for the technical realization in Typo3.
