The Hui 7 were: Project Manager, David Whitten; Senior Engineer, Brian Lord; Kernel Developer, Rick Marshall; Engineers, Steve Shreeve, George Welch, and Chris Richardson; and Documentation, Dean Knapp.

Steve Shreeve went on to become the Founding CEO and a Director for Medsphere Systems Corporation. In 2006, Shreeve and his brother Scott Shreeve entered into a dispute with MedSphere over the company's refusal to release its electronic medical record to the Open Source community. The company filed suit against the Shreeve brothers, but the parties have resolved the issue.

The other six members of the Hui 7 went on to work for Sequence Managers Software, which produces and markets OnDemandCARE, an Open Source electronic medical record built around the VistA package.
