@Langhaarzombie -- pinging you in case you see things I could make nicer. |

| Maintaining a successful open source project is challenging. Most contributors are volunteers (thank you!), and even for those who receive remuneration there are often challenges. Someone might be paid a fixed amount to contribute a specific feature, or might be given permission to spend some, usually small, fraction of their time on the project. As a very immediate example, I'm a volunteer writing this post for QuTiP at 21:30 at night while my wife puts my daughter to sleep. |

Can we give a shout out to those peeps and orgs who have supported us the most here? e.g. FN's group at RIKEN, Institut quantique. (suggesting FN by name has he has personally driven the project). Maybe also GSoC /NumFOCUS, but not especially so.

Struggling to figure out how to fit this in. Suggestions welcome, otherwise I'll think a bit when I get the chance.

Perhaps don't worry about it. They get plenty of mention in the article anyhow
