I’m a founding member of Web Collective Inc which is a seven-person worker-owned technology cooperative in Seattle. We focus on working with progressive organizations to deliver website and web-based applications. Plone is one of our primary open source tools.
I discovered Zope and Plone in 2001 when trying to find a web-based platform for non-profits that they could easily update. Plone quickly became the staple of my web development company RagingWeb.com. I’m also a co-founder of the Seattle Plone Gathering (with Andrew Burkhalter of onenw.org) which began January 2005.
I enjoy collaborative events where groups of people get together to create and improve open source software - including a weekly Open Source Friday session and multi-day coding sprints (at the Seattle Plone Conference, and most recently the doccom sprint at Google).
Recent open source projects I have contributed to are Collective MetaNav, CollectiveGTD, remember, Plone and Salesforce, and Plone getpaid.
