The team

This are the lunatics organising this years YAPC.

Andrea Pavlovic I'm working at the WU as head of the section "Central and Internet Services" of the universities computing centre (ZID). Our main work is trying to keep the mail-system up and running, make sure the backup dosn't get lost and keep out windows servers from our racks. Whenever needed I come up with a perl script which looks like it's been written by a 4-year-old, but solves a problem and the number of small but vital scripts that saves us many hours of our lives goes up by one.
Armin Obersteiner Works with perl for about 10 years. As CEO of nfotex he uses perl in his work for telecos. From statistics to web services, from ecommerce interfaces to fast realtime applications. Yes it's possible - somewhat ;)
Klaus Ita Sys-Admining at WU-Wien, Institute for Information Business. Guess, what my favorite programming language is.
Leo Tötsch The ex-Parrot patchmonster and pumpkin' is now Perl-hackin' at geizhals.at.
Maroš Kollár Has been doing Perl since 1998 for a plethora of companies. Now works at the CSI - Centre for Social Innovation as web developer and head of the IT department. In his spare time he works on an experimental perl web framework and likes travelling to Asia.
Josef Schmid Josef loves Perl and extravagant haircuts.
Maximilian Attems is physicist at the Institute for Theoretical Physics - TU Vienna. His Perl usage boils down on occasional mod_perl website work. Active Debian kernel team member focussing on early userspace.
Michael Kröll (pepl) does Perl at VeriSign in Vienna. In his spare time he works on the XIMS web-content management system and is active in some Perl Mongers groups.
Roland Lammel Spare time, sometimes full-time perl hacker, sysadmin, developer, mostly system engineer at Kapsch. Recently started a new project which we now call Tobi, he's going to be a year old soon and is teaching us new things every single day.
Thomas Klausner (domm) recently escaped the hell of web application development for the purgatory of providing SMS & MMS connectivity to mobile operators around the world for "premium messaging" at VeriSign. He lives with his girlfriend, two kids, two cats and a nice view in the middle of Vienna. Oh, and he does Perl!
