We kicked off the first Processing forum on 2 August 2002 with the question, "Who are you and why are you here"? When you
read through the first few pages, you get a quick overview of Processing at that time. Many of the first people to reply were very active and transformative in the first years of the community.
When we started the forum for Processing (Beta) on 20 April 2005,
we asked the same question. The first people to reply included Robert "I have a cat" Hodgin, Florian "hair on nude people" Jenett, Tom "Artificial Intelligence with Mathematics" Carden, Ricard "art-science" Marxer, Mikkel "IDEO" Koser, and Guillaume "Design By Ratios" LaBelle. These are people behind some of the most interesting libraries and work created with the software.
Let's try it again. Who are you and why are you here?
