-`Bryan Veloso`_
|

|
|
- its use. It was his first foray outside of the land that was PHP-based
|
|
|
- templating. Although he has only ever used Django for personal projects,
|

|
|
- hybrid and is working to further design within the Django community.

-`Erik Romijn`_
|
|
|
- Erik started using Django in the days of 1.2. His largest contribution to Django was
|
|
|
- ``GenericIPAddressField``, and he has worked on all sorts of patches since.
|
|
|
- While developing with Django, he always keeps a little list of even the slightest
|
|
|
- Django frustrations, to tackle them at a later time and prevent other developers
|
|
|
- from having to deal with the same issues.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Erik is an independent app maker, mostly developing web and mobile apps, as
|
|
|
- `Solid Links`_. He also enjoys helping ordinary developers to build safer web apps,
|
|
|
- for which Django is already a great start, and developed `Erik's Pony Checkup`_ with
|
|
|
- that goal in mind. Erik lives in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
