Carlos has an extended career in the software and semiconductor industries, having worked at Bell Labs Research, Transmeta and NVIDIA. Linux has been a passion of his since the early days. Carlos is based in Silicon Valley, was an early contributor to the Linux kernel and was one of the very first ever to boot the x86_64 kernel (even before silicon chips were available).

A scientist by profession but an engineer at heart, Bogdan started as an Amahi user and since he didn’t have to troubleshoot his network anymore, he decided to contribute back. He is a big supporter of open source and he is trying to convince everybody it's the way to go. Bogdan is proficient programming in C/C++, Java and multiple 4th generation languages, but he believes he can code in any language if required ... mandarin included.
