Introductions

JR Jason Robinson Public Seen by 115

I think for a community discussion site it is a good idea for a discussion thread where new members can introduce themselves with a few words and at the same time indicate some skills they have and how they would like to help the project.

This is that thread - so introduce yourself!

My name is Jason Robinson from Helsinki, Finland and I've been involved in Diaspora* mainly as a user for several years. Since the community governance move I've been participating more actively.

I run my own pod where you can find me at [email protected].

I am interested in community building, spreading the word and development.

I'm Pawel Chojnacki from Poland, and I'm a Diaspora supporter with very little skill - I can do some coding in Python (mainly SciPy), and I've done some translating /bugfixing for ruby inflection modules.

I'm Randall from Vancouver BC. I've been enjoying Diaspora since the early days and promoting it to the large Ubuntu community that I am part of. I'm here to help raise awareness and to pitch in wherever I can.

Taylor McLeod, from Victoria - very close to Vancouver.

I'm interested in and have skills and experience related to: non-profits, volunteer management, community organizing and outreach, fundraising, event planning, , governance, and other areas in that vein.

I have a basic understanding of the coding spectrum of things but no hard coding skills (yet!).

Hi! I'm Flaburgan / Antoine D. from Grenoble, France. I'm a Mozilla and Diaspora contributor. I know HTML5 and CSS3, and Java. I'll try to learn Backbone.js as soon as possible, and maybe Ruby and Rails if I have time...

Hi, I am Michael from Berlin, Germany. I joined the diaspora network in August 2011. I have strong skills in Java (Enterprise) Development, XML technologies and SOA and know about HTML and CSS. I learned some basics of Ruby on the Coursera programming languages course by Dan Grossman.

I hope this course will give me some deeper understanding how diaspora works and how to contribute. There are some features I really love to see eg. Mozilla persona (browserID) support or the use of the W3C camera API on the mobile site.

Hello everyone! =) I am L3MNcakes, a self-taught developer from Colorado, USA. I have strong skills with both relational and non-relational databases. PHP and Python are my strongest programming languages, but I've recently picked up Ruby and Diaspora is getting me familiarized with Rails. I have dabbled in distributed systems and find them fascinating. On the front-end, I am also strong with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, but these things interest me far less than server-side stuff. This is the first open source project that I've made contributions to! =)
