Honor Roll
SME Server would not exist if it weren't for these people and companies. We believe that they deserve permanent recognition for their past and ongoing contributions towards making SME Server what it is today.

SME Server was originally called "e-smith server and gateway" and was created as open-source software by the folks at e-Smith, Inc. (originally Powerframe Internetworking), founded by Joseph and Kim Morrison in early 1999. The software, based on Red Hat's popular Linux offering, quickly gained a reputation for simplicity and reliability, and a loyal following.

e-Smith, Inc, was purchased by Mitel Networks in mid-2001, who continued to develop the platform. In late 2003 Mitel generously contributed its core additions, enhancements, documentation, forums, etc., to the community, enabling us to start out with the full benefit of 5+ years of experience with SME Server. Mitel continues to sponsor development of GPL code for SME Server, and was instrumental in the development of SME Server 7.

Jeff Coleman of Resource Strategies Inc. founded contribs.org, and with the help and support of the community, created a new home and the first community branded release, SME Server 6.0.1. Jeff contributed hardware, bandwidth, time, money, and his heart and soul to this project for over two years to provide a home for the community and keep the distribution alive.
