Richard Eriksson has been a member of the Drupal community since 2004.

Jake Strawn has been working with the web since 1998, and started with a brief background in HTML/CSS, moving into PHP/MySQL and web application programming. After almost eight years of PHP/MySQL programming, he discovered Drupal, and his life changed forever, making complex tasks simple with a framework built for extensibility and efficiency. Jake has extensive experience with the Drupal framework with over 800 commits to his name (http://drupal.org/user/159141). He has been a speaker at many Drupal events including DrupalCons, and DrupalCamps evolved his programming background to include design capabilities to create and deliver amazing looking sites.
Jake works almost exclusively with Drupal 7 now and has invested hundreds of hours into learning and expanding on the new Drupal 7 APIs, including upgrading his Omega base theme (http://drupal.org/project/omega), which promises to be one of the most powerful base themes in Drupal 7.
Jake is also a contributing author on the Definitive Guide to Drupal 7 set to be published shortly after an official release of D7. Jake is writing the jQuery and AJAX chapter, which deals with changes to jQuery in D7, and also the new AJAX system.
Jake also recently relaunched his blog (http://himerus.com) on Drupal 7.
