A Shower of Gratitudes
We would like to take this time to distribute some well-deserved thank you's. For, without the help of many, this project would not have been possible.

First, we would like to thank Mikel Maron, creator of worldKit, the amazing open source mapping application we used to create this website's interactive map.

We would also like to send a big thank you to the creative community behind WordPress, the powerful and flexible open source content management system that we use to manage this website.

Many thanks also to our dynamic and challenging thesis committee at CSU East Bay's Multimedia Graduate Program (and, in particular, our thesis advisor Matthew Purdon) for encouraging us to push our project further than we thought possible.

Thanks to our loved ones for putting up with us during development of this project, as well as their many creative contributions. From this point on, they may as well be known as official collaborators, designers, and editors. Thanks, in particular, to Noel and Julian.

Last but not least, thanks to all who participate in The Organic City by reading and writing stories on this website and allowing us to use these stories as the basis for the mobile experience.

 
 
And the List Goes On and On
We would like to thank and promote all of the creative people in the open source community who give freely of their time and talent to create a variety of tools and tutorials. Below are links to those who assisted and inspired us during development of this project:
