Everyone was selected by me and Stu, and vetted by Relevance's normal
interview process.  Some of the criteria:

(1) A history of demonstrated ability in Clojure and commitment to the
Clojure community. This can of course take many forms: open source
code (clojure itself or libs), writing about Clojure, speaking.

(2) Aptitude for, and interest in, working in a service setting.  It's
not everyone's cup of tea; there are some very good developers who are
not interested in doing client work.

Other than myself, the Clojure/core team currently are folks working
at Relevance

Yes, as needed.

Relevance has a Hacker-in-Residence program so that people can try the
life for 6-12 weeks and see how they like it. Ping Stu off list if/
when you are interested.

Congrats on the book!
