Thomas Bereknyei & John Ericson – Unexplored superpowers: Nix behind the scenes

Tom (@tomberek) has driven many developments around outreach, user experience, and major technical decisions in the past, and continues to be a force of nature when it comes to helping people to get together and make progress on seemingly intractable problems.
