Treasurer

Mischa Peters first witnessed the colourful lights of the delivery room's hospital equipment in 1973. As years went on, his internet career was kick started at XS4ALL in 1995. During this time, he was partly responsible for the organisation of HIP97. Eventually he proceeded to work for various US based companies, currently holding a position at A10 Networks. In his spare time, Mischa likes to burn elbow grease with his company High5! B.V., providing a base for on- and offline networking, hosting, co-locating, consulting, on top of feeding the hamsters that power everything. Postfix Admin is probably his most noticeable achievement in the quagmire of web-based apps, used by hundreds if not thousands of companies worldwide.

Secretary

Ralph van het Nederend was born and raised in Amsterdam. Since 1975 he has always had an interest in technology and so he was very exited when he was able to take his little fingers to a commodore 64 on his birthday in 1983. Ever since his junior high days he has been the go to guy when it came to computers and that has held up until ... well now. In 1993 he was introduced to the Internet and fell in love with the possibilities take came with being online. During his Law school period he landed a job at XS4ALL in 1998 were he went from being a Helpdesk Minion to the Helpdesk Manager. Not so much a real technology geek, Ralph is more of a social media expert and fully engulfed in all the possibilities social media is giving to the world. In his spare time he is looking for a job in the (operational) management field, so do mail him if you got something.
