Luke Gorrie has been programming since he learned to read and has spent the first part of the 21st century deeply involved in the Erlang and Common Lisp programming communities. He was a core developer in the two most successful Erlang startup companies (Bluetail and Synapse) and was a founding developer of the popular Lisp development environment SLIME. His other software is available by way of his crufty old website.

Luke grew up in Australia, spent a long time living in Sweden, and is now traveling east with the plan of pushing One Laptop Per Child forward as best he can. He’s volunteered to spend one year of his life helping to kickstart OLE Nepal in Kathmandu.

Luke arrived in Kathmandu in early September 2007 and he already loves dal bhaat, traffic bandhs, and Nepali pop music.
