<h4>Organiser: Stewart Smith</h4>
<p>Stewart currently works for IBM in the Linux Technology Center on KVM
on POWER, giving him a job that is even harder to explain to non-Linux
geek people than ever before. Previously he worked for Percona as
Director of Server Development where he oversaw development of many of
Percona’s software products. He comes from many years experience in
databases and free and open source software development. He’s often
found hacking on the Drizzle database server, taking photos, running,
brewing beer and cycling (yes, all at the same time). </p><p>
