RobertFelber Would Like to Check-in
Who am I?
Hello,
my name is Robert Felber and I'm from Germany. I'm a 23 years old student of computer science. Unfortunately I have not that much experience already, but I'm motivated and currently working as a trainee at the Max Planck Institute in Leipzig to change this :). I think that I'm a quite pleasant person who enjoys conversations, also I'm quite addicted to coffee which eases my frustration over unexpected bugs (most of the time).
I hope that I can be of use for Foswiki. Greetz
P.S.: I'm already at the IRC Channel, nick=rf, just in case this information is useful.
What do I want?
write access to
SVN for the following branches:
wikiplugins
What can I do?
-theoretical knowledge (oh well..)
-played around with Foswiki code locally already
-young an fresh
-contact with a wide variety of languages (got forced to learn haskell.. hopefully not crippled my mind with that)
-communicative
-careful
-some smaller projects (use of svn, basic terminology, mechanics, not a total noob)
-motivated
Why do I want to do it?
First: I am convinced that open source is the way to go. I want to try to contribute something, despite the respect/fear I have for the high quality standards. I think somewhere I have to start.
Second: I'm currently a trainee and want to develop a solution for the Institute which in the end can be used by other people. Here is a short description of the problem:
- develop a LDAP GUI for user/data management
- web based
- decoupled access management from LDAP or a mapping (should not use LDAP ACL)
- verificated contribution
- outsource parts of the user management to the users (everyone can edit data where access is granted)
- intuitive to use
- easy to maintain
I thought Foswiki would be perfect for these requirements and the institute already uses it. Also I believe that this kind of problem is not so special and could also be of interest for others.
Other Notes
Topics I have contributed to
welcome Robert - we look forward to seeing your contributions
