Who are those people on the panel?

http://www.rubyheroes.com/panel

I have to say I recognize maybe only half the names, and I think I've 
been pretty attentive to the Ruby world (though not the Rails section).

Are these people active on ruby-talk?

There are no bios, no links to any background info.

And why announce the results at a Rails conf?  Why not at a general Ruby 
conference?
