Charles 'Buck' Krasic

QStream's main developer is Charles 'Buck' Krasic. Buck started writing QStream while he was a Ph.D student, working in the SySL group at the OGI/OHSU Department of Computer Science and Engineering. Buck is now a faculty member in the Department of Computer Science at the University of British Columbia (UBC) with the Distributed Systems Group.

QStream development is active at UBC. It also continues in Oregon (now at PSU) and there is also some activity at University of Toronto. The qstream.org site and QStream source code repository are hosted at UBC. Inquiries about QStream should be directed to Buck at UBC.
