About the Reviewers

Jean-Sébastien Guay is a software developer from Montréal, Quebec, Canada. After completing a Bachelor's Degree in Software Development and Software Engineering at UQAM, he began a Master's Degree in Computer Graphics at École Polytechnique, where he chose to use OpenSceneGraph for his Master's project. Motivated by the open nature of the project and wanting to contribute, he started learning its inner workings, fixing bugs, improving the Windows build system, and helping others with their problems on the osg-users mailing list. He has been in the top three posters each month ever since. But is that a good thing or just an indication that he talks too much?

Since late 2007, he has worked for CM-Labs Simulations Inc. (http://www.vortexsim.com/), where he develops the Vortex physics toolkit and training simulators for various industries such as construction, subsea, and others. Being the company's dedicated graphics developer allows him to continue using and contributing to OpenSceneGraph. The best part is he gets paid for it, too! Doing so has helped improve his proficiency with C++ as well as allowed him to use other scene graphs such as Vega Prime and OpenSG, which lets him keep an open mind and always see the big picture.

Jean-Sébastien has participated in several OpenSceneGraph user meetings, and he was a presenter at the OpenSceneGraph BOFs at Siggraph in 2008 and 2009. He is also a co-developer of the osgOcean nodekit, an ocean surface rendering add-on library for OpenSceneGraph, which is available at http://osgocean.googlecode.com/. He has also contributed to other open source projects, such as Bugzilla, Yafaray, and others.

Jean-Sébastien currently lives in the suburbs of Montréal, with his lovely wife and their three young boys. His personal website can be found at http://whitestar02.webhop.org/.
