Sven Dowideit

I am a Consulting Wiki Engineer - I've been using Wiki's to raise organizations Capability Maturity since 1998, and have worked on JOSWiki and TWiki for almost as long. I have worked as a Senior Software Engineer in cross platform C++, C#, Java, and as a Wiki and Web Consultant for the last 4.

I was a Core TWiki developer since 2004, as the lead developer on the Cairo TWiki release, and then I worked with the TWiki community to build the Dakar community development processes, opening up the source base to developers outside the tiny Core team.

I offer installation assistance, customization services and training, support contracts and general help for both TWiki and Foswiki
I am a WikiRing.com founding partner

Since being locked out of the TWiki project, we're all working hard to realize the ideas we've had.

task teams I'm active in.

History

(no dates yet, have to go research them :/

1. 1998?
2. start with Ward's wiki as my C++ career develops
3. JOSWiki
4. realize that we need to re-write JOSWiki to use dynamic rendering to support enterprise workflows - get buy in, write a few exploratory specs and get permission to work on it from Boss..
5. find TWiki already released as GPL, so switch to that (the other porject would have been internal use only, so yay )
6. implement a Visual Sourcesafe based TWiki store
7. integrate the internal task tracking system into TWiki, and similarly other cross organisational systems, creating a mashup that adds value to the org
8. change companies, bring TWiki with me, this time to build a shared workflow and tracking system - where previously paper was used.
9. 2003
10. join the TWiki Core team, do most of the software development and integration work for the TWiki Cairo release.
11. begin the transformation of the TWiki project from a tiny core of developers into the Subversion based community driven project, making it possible for Crawford to drive the 4.0 release
12. this builds into the companies entire ISO system before i leave
13. inline edit, component edit, proper rest implementations test systems, the knowledge from which are driving Nextwiki's future.
14. ...
15. develop and maintain installer building system for RPM, deb, OSX and Windows - 6-9MMonth work, with more going on all the time.
    • debian builder includes plugins and dependencies
16. wrote and run nightly build and smoke test system for TWiki and Foswiki
17. infrastructure manager and implementor for TWiki project until the fork, and now part of that team for Foswiki - with alot more collaboration now

<glowsun> I heard about this guy who broke into a lion's den at the zoo
<glowsun> and got mauled
<glowsun> and people were talking about how there should have been better defenses put up to prevent people getting into the cage
<glowsun> a friend of mine suggested setting up some kind of deterrent
<glowsun> for example, putting some sort of fierce animal in the cage, which would attack anybody who climbed in

FireGpg? encryption test

I have Will's, Crawford's and Michael's gpg keys on this computer, so I encrypted some text using FireGpg?
