+The BLIS framework was primarily authored by
+
+  Field Van Zee               (The University of Texas at Austin)
+
+but many others gave input and feedback as it was initially
+conceived, designed, and developed, including:
+
+  John Gunnels                (IBM, T.J. Watson Research Center)
+  Jeff Hammond                (Argonne National Laboratory)
+  Francisco Igual             (Universidad Complutense de Madrid)
+  Lee Killough                (Appro International)
+  Tze Meng Low                (The University of Texas at Austin)
+  Bryan Marker                (The University of Texas at Austin)
+  Rhys Ulerich                (The University of Texas at Austin)
+  Robert van de Geijn         (The University of Texas at Austin)
+
+Thanks go the following individuals for helping port very early
+versions of BLIS to new architectures as proofs-of-concept:
+
+  Francisco Igual             (The University of Texas at Austin)
+  Tyler Smith                 (The University of Texas at Austin)
+
+BLIS's development was partially funded by grants from Microsoft and
+the National Science Foundation (Awards CCF-0917167 and OCI-1148125).
