Just an FYI, these two particular students already introduced themselves
on the PyPy list. Paolo is a masters student with experience in the
Linux kernel; Sigurd is a PhD candidate.

Their professor is Lars Bak, the lead architect of the Google V8
Javascript engine. They spent some time working on V8 in the last couple
months.
