Bio:

I come from beautiful Seattle, Wash., and am employed at ONE/Northwest, an environmental nonprofit that helps other organizations use new tools and strategies to engage people in protecting the environment. Since choosing Plone in the winter of 2004, I've touched in at least some way over 100 launched Plone-powered websites. Around that time I also cofounded the Seattle Plone user group (which has been running strong for almost 4 years!) and assisted in the running of the 2006 Plone conference in Seattle. Outside of Plone, I'm interested in music, cycling, food, and too many other hobbies to count.

Expertise:

Having been around Plone for a while, I have a pretty strong foundation in all of the major pieces of the puzzle. I really like helping ramp others up with advice and explanation. Lately, I've been energized trying to make Plone integrate with Salesforce.com as a CRM and also the fantastic tool that is PloneFormGen.

Seeking:

"Seeking" -- this reads like a dating question, but in general I'm looking to reconnect with many peers and old friends, meet some new faces, talk about the state of Plone/Salesforce.com integration in attempt to recruit users/contributors, sit in on some good talks, and have a killer PloneFormGen sprint with SteveM.
