Open Source Evangelist, O'Reilly Media.
Allison Randal is the Open Source part of the O'Reilly Radar team, keeping a finger on the pulse of technology trends. Her first geek career was as a research linguist in eastern Africa. But eventually her love of coding drew her away from natural languages to artificial ones. Allison is the program co-chair for O'Reilly's Open Source Convention and O'Reilly's Energy Innovation Conference, the architect of Parrot (a virtual machine for dynamic languages), on the board of directors of The Perl Foundation, and founder and president of Onyx Neon. She co-authored Perl 6 & Parrot Essentials, and has edited various O'Reilly books on dynamic languages including Perl Hacks and Programming PHP.
