-LIBRIS representative in the EU funded ONE-2 project. Before this, he
-was the CEO of NetGuide Scandinavia AB, one of the first internet
-services companies in Sweden. Mr Hallén has also been a Computer
-Science and Programming teacher and an army officer. Throughout his
-career he has been managing projects varying from 1200 participant
-conventions down to 3 person development projects. He has also done
-electronics development and microcontroller programming, winning two
-innovation awards in the process. Mr Hallén is chairman of the Python
-Business Forum.

-Armin Rigo was born in 1976 in Lausanne, Switzerland. He is a researcher
-at the University of Southampton (UK). He studied Mathematics at the
-University of Lausanne and obtained his Ph.D. in Logic and Set Theory at
-the Free University of Brussels. He is the main author of several
-commercial, open source and research programs and contributed to a number
-of them, most notably in the fields of computer graphics and 3D modelling,
-education, and programming languages. He recently developed in the Psyco
-project novel techniques for efficient interpretation of dynamic programming
-languages. He is also a member and contributor of the TUNES Project for a
-Free Reflective Computing System.
