Anders Damsgaard is a researcher at Aarhus University in Denmark, where he develops applications that simulate granular and glacier mechanics. He believes that glaciers are a key component in the climate system of the past, present, and future, and a deep understanding of their behavior is crucial in order to develop credible and reliable numerical climate models for the warm future of Earth.
In order to overcome the large computational requirements of the scientific simulations, he has turned to massively parallel modern graphics-processing units in large-scale cluster environments and has developed his own tools using primarily CUDA C and the scientific Python stack (Numpy, Scipy, and Matplotlib). The design and daily usage of high performance GNU/Linux GPU clusters have made him familiar with many modern POSIX-platform developer tools.
He has also worked with computational fluid dynamics and land surface reconstruction using the Structure-from-Motion technique, with photos taken from unmanned aerial vehicles. He is an advocate of free software and digital rights and runs a Tor relay from his home.
Azat Khuzhin is currently working on an Internet links database project, crawling websites on the Internet, and building index that currently contains more than 100 billion links. He likes to hack projects that he uses every day, for example, Linux, libevent, and others. He is keen on investigating complex issues such as when one has to go to the final software bottom layer as much as high throughput problems.
He also has his own projects, but most of them were done as research or just for fun, and they are available on his GitHub profile. He's the type of guy who runs strace if a program doesn't show normal errors on failure.
Thomas Ferris Nicolaisen is a software developer who blogs, speaks, and podcasts about tooling and techniques for programmers. He continuously keeps a check on what the great command-line utilities on all platforms are, and in doing so, he picked up tmux some years ago. Since then, he has been using and enjoying working with it for both server work and terminal windows on the desktop.
You can find his blog at www.tfnico.com and his recent podcast project on www.gitminutes.com.
Gustavo Sampaio is a software developer with different kinds of specializations. He has experience with a lot of programming languages and various platforms (Android, iOS, Windows, Linux, Web, and the microcontroller Arduino).
He has also worked with digital image processing and computer graphics, including advanced rendering techniques (global illumination, shaders, raytracing, and so on), natural language processing (the Naive Bayes classifier and POS Tagger), and parallel computing using the OpenMPI library.
He is currently studying Computer Science and has publications in his fields.
Ian Yang has several years of software development experience. Playing with various productivity tools is one of the things he loves. He is also a keyboard enthusiast who prefers to finish the job, mostly using keyboard. tmux is one of his favorite tools.
He has worked remotely for several years as a web developer. He is currently running a mobile game start-up as the co-founder and CTO.
방용배(Bang Yongbae) was a student of School of Computer Science and Engineering of Seoul National University in the Republic of Korea until last year. He was attracted to Ubuntu, Vim, and tmux, and therefore, he is always working with them now. He often says "black background, white text", which is the reverse of a Korean proverb.
He graduated recently and is now an intern at a small start-up, HyperConnect, that services an Android voice chat, Azar. His part is making a web tool that manages their service with Python, HTML, JavaScript, WebRTC, and WebSocket.
He will apply to graduate school next year to study more about computer science. He has big dreams, as he is young. He believes that the computer has a super power that will lead the future world. He is proud of his major and always puts on his thinking cap on how to use it effectively to make the world better.
