The core team
Paulo
Our resident duck Paulo is the happy face of the island. Apart from doing great
PR, be it at TUG or in certain popular chat rooms, he is the one who started, or
at least ideated, most of the island's popular tools. arara made the start and
many great project ideas and projects followed, and will follow.
Ben
Ben is the technical lead of the island. With an open eye towards aspiring
technologies and development tooling, he tries to create a modern and organized
working environment. After his full rewrite of arara, no complexity can keep
him from making progress – even if it may take some time.
