| Administrator 💾 | Maintainer | Owner | John Bampton 👨🎨 | 311111104 | GitHub is more about collaboration and community than code. I am interested in chess variants and mathematics. Check out the playground and home for all octocats, created and maintained by the GitHub Design team. Ruby is... A dynamic, open source programming language with a focus on simplicity and productivity. It has an elegant syntax that is natural to read and easy to write. |
| General Manager 👨 | Co-organizer | Admin | Adam Lomsargis | Long time chess player with a great respect and passion for the game. I believe chess offers more than just a competitive space in which to battle your opponent. It's also a great way to socialise with intelligent people and have a laugh! :D | |
