[ckdake]

Who: Chris Kelly
Location: Reynoldstown/Cabbagetown
Bikes: http://ckdake.com/personal/bikes.html
Bike Geek Interest: I run fastermustache.org and
dicklanevelodrome.com (and provide web hosting for a lot of other
Atlanta bike things). I build the lap tracker for FM:24 every year
(http://ckdake.com/portfolio/software/fmracetracker.html) and have an
interest in ride data including all the stats and mapping. None of the
tracking sites out there do enough yet to satisfy my needs.
Recent Project: converting dicklanevelodrome.com to Drupal

[Rebecca]

Who: Rebecca Serna
Location: West End/Cascade Road
Bikes: 1990s Miyata touring bike for commuting; single speed something
or other donated bike for work errands around downtown; Bianchi hybrid
mostly for loaning; blue Schwinn Continental gathering dust but a
beaut in my eyes!
Bike Geek Interest: I'm not really a geek, more of a dork, but I like
maps and have lots of needs for geeky things that advance bike
advocacy. Maps, reporting tools, etc.

[David Emory]

Sorry I'm a little late to the party here, I've been out of town for most of the last three weeks (as it happens, one of the trips was to Portland for a workshop on open-source multimodal trip planning software, so the topic is certainly fresh on my mind).

Who: Dave Emory
Location: Midtown
Bikes: Giant Cypress hybrid
Bike Geek Interest: I'm a transportation planner (day job is transit policy planning for ARC) with a CS background and strong interest in multimodal (mostly transit and bike) trip planning and mapping. For the past couple years I've been working on a transit trip planner called A-Train for the local transit advocacy group CfPT -- over time it's expanded to including biking as well. Would like to relaunch / rebrand it later this year to reflect its increasingly non-transit-specific focus.
Recent Project: http://new.atltransit.com -- the latest version of said trip planner. My current focus is migrating from the Google Maps API to OpenLayers, including creation of custom map layers for transit and bike facilities (some very rough progress toward this at http://new.atltransit.com/ol). Right now getting good, complete, region-wide data on bike facilities and conditions is a challenge.
