Janos Gyerik is a Software Engineer living in Paris, France. He has been using Bazaar since its early releases to manage his personal projects, some of which are open source and available on Launchpad (https://launchpad.net/~janos-gyerik). Janos is passionate about Bazaar, and although he embraces other version control systems as well, he wouldn't miss a chance to uphold Bazaar's values over competitive solutions. Janos spends most of his free time on various personal projects, and he is always up to something, which you can read about on his blog at http://janosgyerik.com/.
I would like to thank my wife for putting up with my late night writing sessions. I also give deep thanks and gratitude to my brother, Matyas Fodor, and my friends, Hugues Merlen, Alain Vizzini, Ivan Zimine, and Pierre-Jean Baraud, whose critical comments and support has helped me greatly in writing and improving the quality of this book.
I also would like to thank the reviewers Yavor Nikolov, John Meinel, and Alexander Belchenko for their criticism and support, it was a real pleasure working together. Finally, I thank Packt Publishing for this great opportunity.
