The Team
Meet the team developing openlp.org!
openlp.org is divided into a few teams, viz.
- Development
- Support
- Administration
Development Team:
Raoul Snyman |
|
|---|---|
| Position: | Lead Developer / Project Administrator |
| Day job: | Senior developer (PHP) |
| A little bit more: | Raoul lives in Cape Town, South Africa. He is married to Hannah, but they don't have kids yet. Raoul works for an internet news company called Independent Online, where he writes PHP/MySQL web apps. He is also an open source software enthusiast, actively promoting Linux where ever he can. Personally, he runs the Kubuntu Linux distribution on his desktop.
Raoul has been involved with computers since he can remember. He wrote his first few programs at age 10 in BASIC, but then moved to Pascal when he started using that for computer studies in high school. While at university he learned a few more programming languages, including C++ and Java, and taught himself PHP, CSS, HTML and, most recently, Python. Raoul is involved with a number of open source projects in addition to openlp.org, like a project management tool and a church service collaboration tool. |
Derek Scotney |
|
|---|---|
| Position: | Developer |
| Day job: | Software developer |
| A little bit more: | Derek lives in Pretoria, South Africa, is married to Angela, and they have a few kids. |
Josh Newman |
|
|---|---|
| Position: | Developer |
| Day job: | System Architect |
| A little bit more: | Josh is involved in designing, building, and integrating High Performance Computing (HPC) systems for major technology companies. These systems are typically used for virtual stress-testing of prototypes before they are physically manufactured.
Like Raoul, Josh has been involved in computers since he was young. His first programs were written on a TRS-80 Color Computer that had a cassette tape for a disk drive. In High School, Josh learned Pascal and C. Now, he also programs in Java, PHP, C++, Perl, and .NET. Josh currently lives in Florida, but will be moving back home, to Texas, soon. |
Support Team:
David Bunce |
|
|---|---|
| Position: | Head of Support |
| Day job: | Student |
| A little bit more: | David helps out on the openlp.org support team in between studying for the intensely demanding International Baccalaureate in England. Not gifted enough to be one of the many clever monkeys tapping away on keyboards to produce openlp.org, he instead works at being the friendly face which attempts to resolve the problems created by said clever moneys. |
Administration Team:
Richard Banks |
|
|---|---|
| Position: | Systems Administrator/Web Master |
| Day job: | Web Developer |
| A little bit more: | Richard lives in Johannesburg, South Africa, and has his own Web Development company. |
