JD Bothma is Head of Product at OpenUp, meaning that he helps make sure their product development meets user needs while contributing to the organisational vision, and advocates for Agile to manage risk, communicate effectively, and make continual progress. He was Head of tech for most of the duration of this project. He believes the government belongs to the citizenry and should serve them. So he brings his experience and knowledge of how innovation and development can happen quickly and reliably in the tech industry to see the same efficiencies and improvements in communication and collaboration between the state, civil society and the general public. ? Schalk Neethling is the founder of the consultancy Mechanical Ink, which focuses on front-end development, accessibility, open web standards, and performance. While Schalk has experience with some of the popular front-end frameworks, he believes in preferring the open web platform over frameworks, open-source over black boxes, doing meaningful work, being a lifelong learner, and sharing what he learns along the way.
