Who are these people and why did they name their software after the Red Hat installer?

We didn't. Anaconda is a distribution of Python for big data (big + python). It is very popular in the scientific and data science ecosystems around Python.

The "people" include myself and my co-founder, the author of Numpy and a co-author of Scipy. We are working on building next-generation tools for data analytics, visualization, and array-oriented computing, as well as provide outstanding support, training, and consulting around the current generation of outstanding libraries in Python. http://continuum.io
