## Yehowshua Immanuel

* Experience in HDL projects, PCB design, and drivers
* Interests: Compilers, HDL Tooling, Signal Processing, Mathematics,
  Electromagnetics
* Website: [[https://yehowshuaimmanuel.com]]
* Github: [[https://github.com/BracketMaster]]

## [[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton|lkcl]]

* Hardware Experience: assembly-level programming, gate-level
  circuit design, PCB design, reverse-engineering, embedded systems
  design and programming, software engineering, standards development,
  libre project management and more.
* Ethical Technology Specialist.  Identifies socio-economic imbalances and
  works out if there's an ethical way in which technology can help.  If that
  technology doesn't exist, creates it.
* Interests: varied and including particle physics and poetry.
* website: [[http://lkcl.net]]
* github: doesn't have one (because github is a proprietary non-free service),
  runs his own git servers, manages projects (several), entirely in a libre
  fashion, including managing the server(s).
* Availability: full-time
