• Alexandre Duarte: I recently started my PhD studies in Computer Science at Universidade Federal de Campina Grande. My research is focused in study how the Computational Grid can be used to improve software quality. When I'm not dealing with Tests and Grids I spend some time taking care of my colorful African Cichlids from Lake Malawi.

• Alexandro S. Soares: I'm an undergraduate of Computer Science at Universidade Federal de Campina Grande and scholarship holder on the OurGrid Project at the Distributed Systems Lab. I have worked with distributed software testing while working together Alexandre Duarte on development of the GridUnit framework.

• Alisson Wilker: I've worked on the development of a new accounting model for the OurGrid architecture and also worked on SmartFrog components for improving deployment of data and applications in grids (in collaboration with Miranda Mowbray, from HP Labs in Bristol). Nowadays, I am working on the development of a fault tolerance mechanism for GISs (Grid Information Service), such as the NodeWiz.

• Ana Cristina Oliveira: I am a master student in Computer Science at the UFCG. Now I am working on my dissertation, entitled Sabotage Tolerant Scheduling for Peer-to-Peer Grids. I have participated of the Failure Spotter Project (2004-2005), where I had to implement a sabotage resilient scheduler for the OurGrid Broker and a scheduler based on consensus protocols for the OurGrid peers.

• Ayla Dantas: I'm a Phd candidate working on testing of distributed systems. I was the coach of some research lines of the OurGrid project in 2004 and 2005. I've also worked in a research line on resource management using Web Services and also in another one focused on automated grid management. Besides computing, I love to stay with my family and friends and to meet new people and visit new places.

• Celso Brennand: I'm a Master's candidate working on automated manegement and monitoring of grid. I was the team leader of a research line AutoMan of the OurGrid project in 2006. Besides computing, I love to stay with my family and friends and to meet new people and visit new places and taking photographies.

• Flávio Santos: I am an undergraduate student at Universidade Federal de Campina Grande (UFCG). I am currently investigating how to improve the content distribution in a BitTorrent-based system. I have also worked in the OurGrid Peer implementation and AutoMan (OurGrid Automatic Management) at Distributed Systems Lab (LSD/UFCG). I waste my free time reading books and taking photographies.

• Flavio Vinicius: Although I´m not exactly in the OurGrid team, I work on the Failure Spotter project developing a fault tolerant Replica Executor for the OurGrid project. I´m interested music, movies, reading, computers and so on. But I´m not a sports kind of guy.

• Gustavo Wagner: I have worked on OurGrid since 2003. I have worked with Globus and SmartFrog as a undergraduated student. Currently, on my MSc., I am researching about service and data management on grids. I also like to read, watch movies and try to play my guitar!

• Lauro Beltrão Costa: I've been working on MyGrid/OurGrid since 2001. Currently, my work is on resource and service discovery for overlay networks and grids via NodeWiz (a scalable Grid Information Service that supports multi-attribute and range queries on node properties). I also like to read, swin and play squash.

• Marcelo Meira Leite: I am OurGrid's project manager. My responsibilities involve technical as well as financial affairs.

• Nazareno Andrade: I've been working with the Network of Favors and other resource allocation aspects of OurGrid for a while now. This was my Msc and is currently the topic of my PhD at Universidade Federal de Campina Grande. I'm also into music, playing the bass and consuming as many cds as possible.

• Nigini A. Oliveira: I'm part of the first versions OurGrid and MyGrid's development group. Now I'm working at extending OurGrid to deal with Data Intensive Applications. In parallel, I've just began my Master Course in Computer Science at UFCG researching on Quantum Computing. I spend some hours on reading, yoga and sports.

• Sérgio Espinola: I'm an undergraduate of Computer Science at UFCG and member of EEG-Project at Distributed Systems Lab. My experience with this technology increased after course taken with professors Walfredo and Fubica.
  Nowadays, I work to develop new ways to incrase Grid domains and CyberImaging through Web.
  Please feel free to visit us at GRIP WebGrid or GRIP Project.

• Thiago Emmanuel Pereira: I'm an undergraduate of Computer Science at UFCG and i've working in a part time job at LSD since 2005, first i was a programmer in SmartPumping project playing hydraulic simulation codes (a real man job), now i'm working in the ougrid team. I'm addicted to beer and scifi books.

• Walfredo Cirne: I'm faculty at the Universidade Federal de Campina Grande, and director of the Laboratório de Sistemas Distribuídos. I'm also the father of OurGrid.

• William Voorsluys: I work as a research assistant at LSD. I have worked for one year in the SegHidro Project finding solutions to data intensive applications on the Grid. Currently, I'm doing research in the OurGrid project. As hobbies, I like reading, watching movies and keeping fish tanks.
