Jurgen Appelo
Jurgen Appelo is a writer, speaker, trainer, entrepreneur, illustrator, developer, manager, blogger, reader, dreamer, leader, freethinker, and… Dutch guy.Since 2008 Jurgen writes a popular blog at www.noop.nl, which deals with development management, software engineering, business improvement, personal development, and complexity theory. He is the author of the book Management 3.0: Leading Agile Developers, Developing Agile Leaders, which describes the role of the manager in agile organizations. He is also a speaker, being regularly invited to talk at business seminars and conferences around the world.
After studying Software Engineering at the Delft University of Technology, and earning his Master’s degree in 1994, Jurgen Appelo has busied himself starting up and leading a variety of Dutch businesses, always in the position of team leader, manager, or executive. Jurgen has experience in leading a horde of 100 software developers, development managers, project managers, business consultants, quality managers, service managers, and kangaroos, some of which he hired accidentally.
Nowadays he works full-time developing innovative courseware, books, and other types of original content. But sometimes Jurgen puts it all aside to do some programming himself, or to spend time on his ever-growing collection of science fiction and fantasy literature, which he stacks in a self-designed book case. It is 4 meters high.
Jurgen lives in Rotterdam (The Netherlands) -- and sometimes in Brussels (Belgium) -- with his partner Raoul. He has two kids, and an imaginary hamster called George.

Jarek spent last 10 years of his life in IT working as database and system administrator, developer, architect, manager and "on site disaster engineer ". He was involved in small, medium and horribly and nonsense large systems, from "waterfall" through Agile to "no methodology" methodology. It all lead him to conclusion that it doesn't matter what you do as long as you do it right, keep it simple and use the right tool to do the job for you. In the meantime he fell in love it TDD, Software Craftmanship and beautiful and simple ideas like REST, JavaScript and NOSQL.

Maciej Próchniak
Long time ago Maciek was doing algebraic topology, struggling hard to compute some crazy homotopy inverse limits of contravariant functors of group cohomologies (or sth like that). Then he joined TouK and started to dabble with SOA, Drools, Servicemix, OSGI, Camel, Activiti and other "enterprisey" stuff. Currently he spends some time doing more frontend development and hopes to get back to his functional programming roots: ML, currying, functors and other pleasant things. Meanwhile he struggles to test things that are more often than not regarded as "untestable": starting from BPEL, through GWT to Javascript.
