Mik Kersten is the President and CTO of Tasktop Technologies, lead of the Eclipse Mylyn project, committer on the AspectJ project, and member of the Eclipse Architecture Council. While a research scientist at Xerox PARC, Mik implemented the first aspect-oriented programming tool support with AspectJ plug-ins for JBuilder, NetBeans, Visual Studio, and Emacs. He then created Mylyn and the Task-Focused Interface technology while completing his PhD at the University of British Columbia. Mik's passion is building Eclipse-based tools that offload our brains and make it easier to get creative work done.
Robert Elves is Product Manager at Tasktop Technologies and a committer on the Eclipse Mylyn project. Robert holds a MSc in Computer Science from the University of Victoria where his research domain was locomotion in information spaces, with a focus on helping developers navigate source code.
Steffen Pingel is a software developer at Tasktop Technologies. He enjoys working on Mylyn based tools that keep developers focused and productive. He has been a committer on the project since 2006 when Google's Summer of Code got him addicted to Mylyn.
