Acknowledgements
You’re reading the result of a yearlong effort to produce an in-depth book on the Apache Mesos project and ecosystem. Despite my name being on the cover, many people contributed to the final publication, people who would otherwise remain anonymous if I didn’t thank them here. I’m sure that my family, my friends, and my wife already know how much I appreciate their support through this endeavor.
First, I’d like to thank the Mesos community. In every interaction—at conferences, on the mailing lists, on IRC—everyone has been extremely helpful and kind. As of this writing, there are over 100 individual contributors to the Mesos code base, and even more people who volunteer their time on the Mesos mailing lists and chat rooms to answer questions and provide help. In addition to all the people I’ve had the pleasure of talking to at conferences and working with on a daily basis, I’d like to thank Ben Hindman, Florian Leibert, Thomas Rampelberg, Dave Lester, Christian Bogeberg, and Michael Hausenblas for all of their help.
And I’d like to thank Florian for writing the foreword to this book.
