| Below
a subset of the VM Labs team. Except that I started with the first
six employees of VM Labs, there is no special order in which the team
members show up. This page doesn't contain all people ever worked
on NUON or with VM Labs - of course not, VM Labs had over 100 employees
at its best time! This has basically two reasons: I don't have a picture
of them and/or I don't have their contact information. And, I don't
want to post any picture without the permission of the shown person.
So if a former VM Labs employee comes across this site and likes to
be added, just send me an email: andreasb@vmlabs.de |
