Occupation: CTO (hahaha)
Location: San FranDisco, CA, USA
Comments: Crotchety Old Man who likes to see things done right.
OS Expertise: BSDI 2.0
Contributions: Code-wise I've contributed very little - the authDBM hack which I did for HotWired was the only feature enhancement. I focus more on testing and sanity checking, and I provide the hardware/software/bandwidth to support www.apache.org and the development mailing list.

Occupation: Computer Science student

Contributions: Contributor of the URL Rewriting Module (mod_rewrite), the Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) support, the Apache Autoconf-style Interface (APACI), the overhauling of the Configure script and Makefile templates and various bugfixes and minor features: Line Continuation for config files, programs for the Big Symbol Renaming in April 1998 (foo -> ap_foo), Reverse Proxy support, etc. In general Ralf is Dr. Cosmetics at the Apache Group because his opinion is that every type of hacking is some sort of art and hence needs to be maximum clean and perfect.

Email: rst@ai.mit.edu
URL: http://www.ai.mit.edu/people/rst/rst.html
Organization: MIT Artificial Intelligence Lab
Occupation: grad student & random hacker
Location: Boston, Mass., USA
Contributions: Designed the module interface, and the internal data structures which support it, and adapted the first (and somewhat less than perfect ;-) versions of the modules providing functionality equivalent to Apache 0.6, starting from an early version of Rob Hartill's 0.7 work. Also designed and wrote large portions of the current server core from scratch (alloc.c, http_config.c, http_core.c, and portions of other files), again adapting the rest from 0.7, to produce the first versions of what became Apache 0.8/1.0 (then called Shambhala), after further work by the rest of the group. Various other contributions include the original Apache 0.6 content negotiation code, the SpareServers machinery (for better or worse), the experimental (as of 0.8/1.0) dld module and LogFormat support, and the 0.8/1.0 Configuration script.
