James G. Robertson hasn't always been a developer. He started his long road to Drupal with a degree in history from Presbyterian College in Clinton, SC. After not being able to find a job that could use a history degree, he went to get his master's degree in journalism and public affairs from American University in Washington, DC. While working on his degree at AU, he worked as a teacher's assistant, taught himself Drupal, and developed his fi rst website for The American Observer, American University's graduate journalism school publication. After internships at J-Lab and the Newseum, he worked for the National Geographic Society producing content and occasionally blogging for sections of nationalgeographic.com. After a year at National Geographic, he made the move to developing websites with Drupal full-time for Bravery Corporation, a public relations and marketing fi rm in Washington, DC.He now works at REI Systems, an IT services company in Sterling, VA. Bill Fitzgerald was born in 1968, and worked as a teacher for 16 years. During that time, he taught English and history, and worked as a Technology Director at the K12 level. He began using technology in his own teaching in the early 90s; from there, he moved on to database design and systems administration. During that time, he began developing strategies to support technology integration in 1:1 laptop systems and in desktop computing environments.In 2003, Bill founded FunnyMonkey, an open source development shop working primarily within education. He is active in various educational and open source communities. He blogs about education and technology at http://funnymonkey.com/blog.When Bill is not staring deeply into computer screens, he can be found riding his fi xed-gear bicycle through Portland, OR, or spending far too much time drinking coffee.
