Jan Newmarch is the head of ICT (Higher Education) at Box Hill Institute, adjunct professor at Canberra University, and adjunct lecturer in the School of Information Technology, Computing, and Mathematics at Charles Sturt University. He is interested in more aspects of computing than he has time to pursue, but the major thrust over the last few years has developed from user interfaces under Unix into Java and the Web and then into general distributed systems. Jan developed a number of publicly available software systems in these areas. For the last few years he has been looking at sound for Linux systems and programming the Raspberry Pi’s GPU. He is now exploring aspects of the IoT. He lives in Melbourne, Australia, and enjoys the food and culture there but is not so impressed by the weather.
Jeff Tranter has been using Linux since 1992 and has written and contributed to a number of open source and commercial Linux applications and tools.

Jeff received his bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from the University of Western Ontario. He currently works as an engineering manager for a software consulting company, telecommuting from Ottawa in Ontario, Canada.
