Stockfish: call for contributor's full name :-)

[snicolet]

I am not really raising an issue, but rather (ab)using Github's "at sign" @ feature to reach the contributors of the project in the last two years for whom we don't know the family name. So if you are one of the people in the following list and would accept to have your name in the list of contributors in the upcoming Stockfish 9 release notes, please post us a comment in this Github thread or on the fishcooking forum thread there: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/fishcooking/_FW_RIowarw

EDIT: list updated with the most current infos

[pb00068]

I guess that @ajithcj full name is "Ajith Chandy Jose".

[ajithcj]

@pb00068 Gunther Demetz, Thanks. that's right!

[gvreuls]

I think @mbootsector and Andrew Grant (AndyGrant) are the same person.

[AndyGrant]

That would not be the case, @gvreuls

[gvreuls]

I guess I must have confused the both of you in TCEC chat, sorry!

[pb00068]

All I know is that @mbootsector's first name is Mikael

[mibere]

@mcostalba Is the updated list part of the SF 9 release?

[hxim]

Hello my full name is Jan Ondruš

[DU-jdto]

My name is Jarrod Torriero.

[FauziAkram]

Will this list be introduced in stockfish files?

[Vizvezdenec]

I think that you at least should add @noobpwnftw there.
He is not only donating enormous amount of computing power that stimulates devs to seek for new ideas more rapidly, but he spotted numa bug which was corrupting sf play on windows numa machines by 10 elo https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/issues/1312, he solely debugged this issue https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/issues/1433
and debugged this old and annoying fishtest but https://github.com/glinscott/fishtest/issues/141 simultaneously spotting it origin - https://github.com/glinscott/fishtest/issues/145 .
I honestly think that his direct bugspotting and debugging contribution is important, not even talking about all that machines that he donates to fishtest.

[jhellis3]

Not a big deal but my name is misspelled: Joseph Hellis should be Joseph Ellis.

[mbootsector]

Hi
My name is Mikael Bäckman.

[bunkbail]

Ron Britvich (Britvich)
Jean-Francois Romang (jromang)

[Vizvezdenec]

Since now I am the real contributor I guess I should be listed there ;)
My name is Michael Chaly

[Rocky640]

Steinar H. Gunderson (sesse)

[absimaldata]

Aditya (absimaldata)

[Vizvezdenec]

@SFisGOD

[SFisGOD]

Jared Kish is Kurtbusch

[noobpwnftw]

Typo: Bujun Guo -> Bojun Guo :)

[snicolet]

@noobpwnftw Sorry for the typo, I will correct it as soon as possible

[Vizvezdenec]

@zenczykowski is now a contributor :)

[Vizvezdenec]

@vondele
I think this should be permanently opened :)
Also I think we should have @linrock listed in contributors list with his massive work on improving fishtest.

[vondele]

@Vizvezdenec we should add people to the authors at the first contribution... and try not to forget.
@linrock is doing great work on fishtest, he was added to the fishtest author list early on.
