What's This All About

Alan Runyan

Based out of Montrose in Houston, TX. Alan is continually fighting the swirling evil that emanates from Houston. After working for submerging.com, he gave up on corporate life and started his own company working with Zope. When Plone and clients are not soaking up his time you can find him making pilgrimages to the Rothko Chapel and the Menil Collection. He is a principal in the commercial Plone training/product company, Enfold Systems, LLC.

Jon Stahl

Jon's a Program Manager at ONE/Northwest in Seattle, WA.  ONE/Northwest is a nonprofit organization that provides technology and communications assistance to the people and organizations who are building a sustainable Pacific Northwest.  Since 2004, ONE/Northwest has launched nearly 50 Plone-powered websites for grassroots nonprofit environmental organizations.

When not blogging about Plone he has been spotted chasing a frisbee, strumming a guitar or working on his telemark turn. 

Rob Miller

Rob moved to San Francisco in 1996 to join some friends who were starting an underground dance performance group.  After having a child, however, economic realities kicked in and he dusted off his old computer skills and joined the insanity that was the SF technology industry in the late '90s.  After a few years of start-up roulette, he finally found a niche for himself in 2001 working as the technology lead for the (SF-based) organization that produces the annual Burning Man event in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada.  He started working with Plone in 2002 while building an extranet system for Burning Man, but he's pretty sure it was while attending the first Snow Sprint that someone slipped brainwash powder into his beer; since that time he's become a full time Plone developer, and has taken an active role in the management and/or development of a number of different plone products.  He's particularly interested in the ways that Plone can be used for community and organization management.

Jonah Bossewitch

Jonah is a native New Yorker who still calls the Big Apple home. He works full time at Columbia University's Center for New Media Teaching and Learning attempting to purposefully apply technology to education. He is also a graduate student in Communication and Education where he is studying the affordances of social software, open source culture, and critical theory.

He has been involved with the Plone community since its infancy, and has written and contribed to numerous products and deployments. He spreads Plone whereever he travels. His cat can occasionally be seen meowing on irc, under the name mrenoch.
