Arthur Whitney
A computer scientist most notable for developing the APL-inspired programming languages A+, K and q. He also wrote the initial prototype of J, a terse and macro-heavy single page of code, in one afternoon, which then served as the model for J implementor Roger Hui.
He studied pure mathematics at graduate level at the University of Toronto (Canada) in the early 1980s. He then worked at Stanford University (California, USA). Currently he is the CEO and co-founder of Kx Systems.

Devon McCormick
I run the New York City J Users Group, now in its eleventh year. You can take a look at what we've been up to here: http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/NYCJUG#Notes_on_Past_Meetings.
My main interests are graphical presentation of data, photography, and some topics relating to finance. I'm also interested in the gamification of learning, agent-based simulations, and Bayesian statistics.
At the moment, I'm particularly interested in getting J to take better advantage of the browser, especially in making use of the graphical and UI tools already available in this arena.
I'd be happy to provide any number of introductions to J, several of which I've already put together and presented to different groups. To this end, I've noticed that the best motivation for learning something is to have a problem you want to solve, so I welcome new projects along these lines.
