Dmitri Kisselev
Biography:
I grew up with big IBM machines when I started programming in BASIC and pascal languages. I’ve managed SCO UNIX Systems and SUN Microsystems OS and contributed to early FreeBSD. I was promoted from a user support engineer to a network administration and core team.
I have a passion for interconnecting little networks into bigger and wider ones. I pursue the idea of Net Neutrality – the Internet has to be free from regulation. I am also an ISOC member and a founding member of RICTA.
Ondřej Surý
Biography:
DNS Expert. Currently works at ISC improving BIND 9.
Statement of Interest:
I am very passionate about DNS and like to work both on implementation and protocol level, trying to improve and un-break DNS, and the Internet. I currently also serve the RIPE community as a RIPE NCC Arbiter.
I am very active in the open source community, especially in Debian project. I have contributed code, patches and bug reports into various open source projects in the past.
I would like to continue to work as member of RIPE Programme Committee, helping the RIPE Meetings to continue to thrive and bloom.
Peter Hessler
Biography:
Help Desk to Sysadmin to Netadmin. US to Germany. User to Developer. OpenBSD committer since 2008.
Statement of Interest:
I have an interest in smaller networks. Networks that don’t have global scale, that are solving problems for companies that are not always on the lips of everyone.
I’m also very active in the open source community, as a committer to the OpenBSD and OpenBGPD projects, and in furthering the possible options to run an all-free-software network.
I will advocate for these points of view on the RIPE Programme Committee.
