# Keep Sergey happy
|
|
|
|
I am Sergey Lyubka, a software engineer from Galway, Ireland. I started
|
|
working on Mongoose in 2004, and since then continuously improve it,
|
|
investing thousands of hours of work. My other project I'm contributing to the
|
|
community for free is
|
|
[Super Light Regular Expression library](http://code.google.com/p/slre).
|
|
|
|
If you feel grateful for the stuff I've done, you can buy me a book from my
|
|
[Amazon wishlist](http://amzn.com/w/1OC2ZCPTQYIEP?sort=priority). Many thanks
|
|
to all who already did so: T.Barmann, D.Hughes, J.C.Sloan, R.Romeo,
|
|
L.E.Spencer, S.Kotay, R.M.Shorter and 7 others.
