Urodzony i wychowany w Południowej Afryce mieszka teraz w najbardziej wysuniętym na wschód australijskim Bayron Bay. Brad posiada ogromne doświadczenie w branży hostingowej. Pracuje we własnej firmie hostingowej, ale również w firmie Rochen (www.rochen.com). Dołączył do Mambo w 2003 roku i wprowadził do szybko rozwijającej się wspólnoty Mambo swój dobry humor i doświadczenie. Jak wielu z nas poddał się ryzyku zawodowemu i po latach pracy z klawiaturą jego pismo odręczne jest nieczytelne, a ortografia, do której nie może zastosować słownika przerażająca.

Born in 1979, Ken grew up in a small town north of Kansas City, Missouri. He received his Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science from Northwest Missouri State University in 2002.

Although Ken first discovered Mambo in 2003, he did not start using it extensively until early 2005. Since then, he has been working as a Senior Software Engineer at BIGSHOT, a full-service marketing and advertising agency located in Kansas City, Missouri. Prior to BIGSHOT, his experience includes places like Sprint and Hallmark.com.

Ken is currently writing a book for O'Reilly titled Using Joomla. It is due out at the end of the year.

Born 1958, Chris first began programming on a DEC PDP8 in 1975. He gained a degree in mathematics in 1979 and, after a brief spell as a mathematician in the aerospace industry, got sucked into the rapidly growing computer industry. Chris has developed software at all levels from assembly language upwards, on everything from microprocessors to mainframes, and has learnt through hard experience the value of good, disciplined commenting and thorough documentation. "Documentation is as much a part of the finished product as the code itself."

He discovered Mambo in 2003 while searching for a content management system for an intranet project. Although impressed by the product itself, he felt that the lack of documentation was a major weakness. Rather than complaining, he set about trying to fix the problem by writing his own and was soon recruited to the Documentation Team. He switched to Joomla as soon as the split occurred and is now responsible for developer documentation.

Mark started writing software in the 1970s on punch cards and, for 28 years, co-owned and ran a company that develops software for construction companies. During this time, he did everything from design and development to support, training, and documentation.

After retiring in 2007, Mark decided to learn more about open source software. After becoming the webmaster for a small non-profit organization, he discovered Joomla and started using version 1.5.2 in early 2008. He made the mistake of pressing the Help button and discovered that most of the help documentation hadn't been written yet. So he volunteered to write documentation and has continued to learn about Joomla and try to contribute to the project.

Mark is a Bug Squad Coordinator, a moderator on the forums, a member of the Documentation working group, and the Administrator for the 2009 Google Summer of Code program. He also has written four extensions.

Mark has found the Joomla community to be incredibly friendly and welcoming and is excited about helping to make Joomla even better.

Programowanie jest zabawą, a projektowanie oprogramowania i struktur nawet bardziej. Tym właśnie fascynuje się Alex od czasu, gdy dostał swoją pierwszą Amigę. Zawodowo jest głównym konsultantem IT i pracuje dla swojej własnej firmy. Oprócz życia rodzinnego zdecydował się na przyłączenie się do projektów Open Source. Tak jak fascynowało go napisanie pierwszego "Hello world", tak teraz fascynuje go mechanizm tych projektów i możliwość pracowania z wspaniałym zespołem rozproszonym po całym świecie.

He looks forward to the future as the Joomla community works together to further the goal of being a flexible platform for digital publishing and collaboration.

Extensions Directory in late 2005, and enjoyed the many hours of serious work and fun at the JED Editorial Team until he retired in early 2008. He joined the Core Team in 2007 when invited to take on the position as Joomla! Translation Coordinator.
