Chris and Luke work together on a Xen hosting venture at
prgmr.com, testing out new and interesting technologies on a flock of
patient guinea pigs.  Our motto is "we don't assume you're stupid."

Longer ago than we'd like to think about, No-starch press approached us
about writing a book on the virtualization technology we use, Xen.
The book will be out February, 2009


Chris is a recent graduate, occasional Xen consultant, and itinerant
writer.  Currently he's biking about the Bay Area doing the occasional
bits of documentation, web design, and programming, in search of the
perfect sofa.

Luke has been working with virtualization since before it was cool,
selling virtual servers based on FreeBSD jails before diving headfirst
into Xen.  He currently works as a Consultant, helping a local fortune-1000 
company virtualize hundreds of servers.   His many interests include 
virtualization, market inefficiencies, pervasive computing, novel input 
devices,  anti-spam systems, IPv6, SAN storage, and ESD protection. 
(Luke firmly believes that static discharge blew up the Hindenberg.  It 
could happen to you too.)
