Who Is Cyrus

The Cyrus project was originally started at Carnegie Mellon University but it has since attracted a very dedicated and diverse group of core contributors. Carnegie Mellon University remains active in development of Cyrus and also provides the infrastructure on which cyrusimap.org runs today, but CMU is now just one of many core contributors to Project Cyrus.

Individual contributors and past contributors

There are also individuals who have dedicated their time to Project Cyrus in various ways including answering questions on the mailing lists and IRC channel, writing code, testing new releases, etc. This isn’t going to be a complete list by any stretch. If I left anyone off this list it’s because I have a bad memory and not because your contribution wasn’t appreciated.
