Ralph has been a web developer since he hacked up a script to connect his Amiga computer to the internet with his parents' modem. Over the years, he has created websites and web applications in PHP, Java/J2EE and Ruby on Rails. He is an active contributor to the Hamburg Ruby scene and an organizer of the local Rails Usergroup. While he is not sitting in front of a computer, he enjoys playing with analog cameras or having a good coffee in a beautiful café.

Stephan has been in love with the web since 2000, when he took his first steps with Flash to spice up websites with some serious interactivity. His study in media technology (Medieninformatik) did not only earn him a Master of Science, but also introduced him to the lovely world of Ruby on Rails. He loves to challenge common interaction solutions and to optimise them if need be. Besides that, he is into all kinds of sports like football, tennis, climbing and running.

Josh is a little bit of everything: born and raised in New Zealand, with Romanian, Greek and Welsh heritage, and currently living in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. With experience programming in VB/ASP, Java, and Ruby on Rails, he is like a melting pot of goodness! Josh is a top 30 Rails contributor and helps maintain many popular libraries like multi_json, the linkedin gem, and faraday_middleware. He is also one of the core members behind Travis CI, a distributed continuous integration system for the open source community. When not confined to to desk he likes to drink fantastic flat white coffees from some of the best Amsterdam cafés, and bike to his heart's content.
Sebastian has been using various languages and technologies in his over 10 years of doing professional web development, but some years ago he found indispensable companions in both Ruby and Rails. Having started out as a frontend developer he's also experimenting a lot with HTML5, new JS APIs, CSS3, webOS, and the likes. As a digital nomad Sebastian is constantly traveling around Europe and sometimes the rest of the world--meeting people, soaking up inspiration and trying to decipher the strange ways of humanity.
