CG Cookie has published an interview that gives some great info on the background of Jonathan Williamson.
Wes Burke from CG Cookie writes:
CG Cookie was fortunate enough to spend some time with Jonathan Williamson.
Jonathan has been very active in the blender community over the years: he helped organize and present two blender conferences in Montreal, one blender conference in New York, and returned two consecutive years to North Carolina to teach alongside fellow Blender-artists at a Summer camp for junior-high students hosted by Red Hat Linux.
