Lynette has been part of the Drupal community since Drupalcon Brussels in 2006. She comes from a technical support background, from front-line to developer liaison, giving her a strong understanding of the user experience. She took the next step by writing the majority of Drupal's Building Blocks, focused on some of the most popular Drupal modules at the time. From there, she moved on to working as a professional technical writer, spending seven years at Acquia, working with nearly every product offering. As a writer, her mantra is "Make your documentation so good your users never need to call you."

Lynette lives in San Jose, California where she is a knitter, occasionally a brewer, a newly-minted 3D printing enthusiast, and has too many other hobbies. She also homeschools her two children, and has three house cats, two porch cats, and two rabbits.

Doug is a 25 year veteran of software development. Doug is recognized as an expert in the Drupal community for inventing the coder.module (a static code flow analysis tool used by almost every Drupal developer), for his contributions to the Drupal core search module, and for his work in helping pioneer the use of the NoSQL database MongoDB with Drupal. Doug has given presentations at over half a dozen DrupalCon's on all of the above topics and more.

Doug was a key member of the team that built Examiner.com, the largest dynamic Drupal website built to date. His efforts as Release Manager is recognized to have helped the site launch months earlier than it might have done so otherwise. Doug published an article in Drupal Watchdog magazine about his ideas and experience in this role.

Doug has specialized in creating interpretive languages, on creating development tools that help other developers, on the development process itself, and on internet technologies. He believes software is functional art and infuses this belief in all his projects.

Long before Drupal, Doug contributed to the internet as early as 1985 with an internet protocol used by Scientists at Univerisities, he graduated from Cornell Engineering in 1986, was an Air Force officer through the late eighties, has an MBA, and was an entrepreneur of several small businesses over the next twenty years.

Károly Négyesi, better known in Drupal circles as ChX, has been a Drupal core contributor since 2004. He contributed more patches to core than anyone else and consequently maintains the most core subsystems -- no less than seven. He was the first leader of the security team and is on the team ever since. After scaling NowPublic.com to a Top 500 site by constructing one of the first Drupal-CDN integrations, he met his first real scalability challenge by architecting SCAN, a predictive newsdesk tool for discovering news events before they become mainstream and then following them using sources like Twitter and CNN. For SCAN, he was using MongoDB, a NoSQL database, before the word NoSQL even existed. He was the senior software architect for the re-launched Examiner.com, one of the largest Drupal sites which also based on MongoDB.
