We would like to express our sincerest thanks and gratitude to everyone that has helped with either the development of Sonic Pi or supported its use in any capacity. On its own Sonic Pi is just a piece of software. Only when combined with our kind and generous community does it become a powerful tool for sharing and celebrating the creativity of code. Thank-you everyone.
The start of any project is a fragile period which relies heavily on the generous support of others. We would like to offer our considered gratitude to the following people who provided support in the early days of Sonic Pi with their time, advice, and wisdom:
- Carrie Anne Philbin
- Robert Mullins
- Alex Bradbury
- Alan Blackwell
- Rachel Drury
- Juneau Projects
- Stephan Lachowsky
The following organisations have kindly contributed to Sonic Pi:
- The Raspberry Pi Foundation
- The Broadcom Foundation
- The University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory
- Arts Council England
- Nesta
- pi-top
We would like to recognise the following individuals for their important contributions which have supported the Sonic Pi Community:
Much of the development, distribution and support work for Sonic Pi is carried out by the Core Team. This is a group of dedicated volunteers (with the exception of Sam Aaron who works full time on the project) who kindly donate their time to continue to improve Sonic Pi.
