Wendy Langer first learned to program in Microbee Basic. This all happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far, away. Later she learned Fortran and a little C++ while studying for a physics degree at University. Eventually she discovered the Python language, and thus began a love affair, which has not yet ended.

She has worked as a programmer in web development using technologies such as Python, Zope, Django, mySQL, and postgreSQL.

Jan V. Smith has been working on open-source software since 2001. She is a Co-founder of OzZope, the Australian Zope Users Group.

Jan has written documentation for the open-source CMS Silva and a number of articles on issues relating to open source software.

Jan is Vice President of 'Computerbank Victoria' where donated computers are recycled with Linux and open source software and distributed to people on low incomes. She has built Computerbank's Plone and Silva websites and is currently building a Django database for Computerbank with Wendy Langer.
