I know Chris. He goes to OSCON every year, and had me down to Xerox a  
couple of times to pitch Bricolage to his team (didn't work out, but  
we've stayed in occasional touch since then). He also told me over  
lunch a couple year ago that he's on some sort of commute commission  
that pushes for bike lanes and max/streetcar lines. I'm probably  
completely mis-stating it. Cool stuff.

Anyway, good guy, IMO.

Best,

David
