Klaas van Gend has gained some reputation both within and outside the Netherlands as a trainer, speaker and author. He spoke on various international conferences and he writes for several dutch magazines including Bits&Chips and Linux Magazine on topics like computer games, Linux, real-time and parallelism. Nowadays he spends his weekends at the local airport, working towards his GPL - Glider Pilot License.
Klaas still tries to streamline the parallelism in his life, with the ultimate goal that he can watch TV, cook and phone at the same time without burning anything.
