+ <h3 id="crossland">Dave Crossland, Crafting Type</h3>
+ <p>Computers were irresistible to me, growing up in the suburban arcadia of south west England in the 1990s. But being “good with computers” pointed towards the life depicted in Fight Club, so in high school I dropped maths and physics for contemporary art and socio-linguistics.Combining my interests in art and computers eventually led me to the BA Interaction Design programme at Ravensbourne College in London.</p>
+<p>By the time I graduated in 2006, I was fascinated with the potential of software freedom for graphic design and typography. I decided to free fonts.I attended the University of Reading’s MA Typeface Design programme and graduated in 2009. In my thesis I related the history of the software freedom movement to key concepts in type design. My student project “Cantarell” was included in the launch of Google Web Fonts and chosen as the default User Interface font for GNOME 3. 2010-2014 I consulted for Google on the Google Fonts project, commissioning new typefaces designed for the web. I also started the Crafting Type project, which lectures on typeface design with free software around the world. I believe that anyone can learn to draw, that CouchSurfing is the best way to travel, and that Transition Towns is important.</p>

+ <h3 id="dluhos">Martin Dluhoš, Charles University</h3>
+ <p>I originally come from the Czech Republic. While in high school, I became curious about the idea of liberal arts education and ended up enrolling in a liberals arts college in the Midwest called Grinnell. I vaguely heard about Linux somewhere before, but had never used any GNU/Linux distribution myself. As I learned about the free software universe from my professors, I became excited about the opportunity to try new software legally, look under its hood, as well as to show it to others and demonstrate it on their own computers. Later on, my interest in GNU/Linux lead me to an internship at the Free Software Foundation in summer 2011.</p>
+
+<p>After Google Summer of Code interlude at Puppet Labs in Portland, I returned to Boston to rejoin the sysadmin team at the FSF upon my college graduation. After about a year, I eventually decided to bid farewell to the east coast to explore the world a little. While in Boston, I was fortunate to meet a few people involved with education project One Laptop Per Child who inspired me to contribute as well. At OLPC summit in San Francisco last fall, I decided to volunteer with a Nepali non-profit OLE Nepal, which has been running the laptop program in schools mainly in rural areas of the country for a few years. I spent six months in OLE's Kathmandu office, where I primarily worked on a system that processed and visualized usage data gathered from the laptops at Nepali schools.</p>
+
+<p>From Nepal, I headed back home to the Czech Republic after living abroad for nearly six years. This summer, I enrolled in a two-year CS Masters program at Charles University in Prague, currently majoring in software engineering.</p>
