I am honoured to be part of the Apache family. :) Following the tradition let's introduce myself. I am 27 years old, french, and I live in Toulouse, while being in the heart a mediterranean as all my childhood was in front of the see. I started to not only use computers but try to improve them with a Ti-89 calculator [1]. So I started at a very low level with some 68k asm, and then I quickly learned C to avoid some headache. Then I discovered Java in my french engineering school which I found pretty cool in transforming segmentation faults into NPEs. After my graduation I did an internship at Anyware Technologies where I discovered the web applications, the open source and the Apache Foundation via Sylvain Wallez. Thank you Sylvain for introducing me to the Apache projects, but most of all to the community aspect of the foundation. Working on different projects I learned first about Cocoon, then I did some Eclipse plugins. After that I deeply looked into Lucene, also OpenRDF, and learned about Ivy after some maven frustration. I also get interested by Husdon, did an Ivy plugin and became a committer there. Then little on my own (I would like to thank my managers to allow me to do so) I decided to try to make IvyDE work because I was bugging me and a lot of my colleagues, forcing us to use some tricks. I had some difficulties to enter into the Eclipse JDT framework, but some thread on the ivy user mailing list keep me investigating bugs. Now that I know deeper Eclipse, I will continue to improve IvyDE because I think that even if Ant + Ivy can be a standalone core build system, tools for users do make the difference between a application and a great application. Thank you everyone! Nicolas [1] http://www.hibnet.org/ti.php PS: special dedication to my father who wrote me a dedication in his book : "you have to contribute to the open source !".
