Assuming there is a two week nomination period - I am putting my self forward as community builder Some background: My interest in phpGroupWare - is that it is a great place to learn programming based on examples from the huge code base. I also find the API a very powerful platform for application development - along with the knowledge of very skilled members of the community - I find phpGroupWare a goldmine of code and knowledge. My work is aimed at Facilities Management - which is defined as "a profession that encompasses multiple disciplines to ensure functionality of the built environment by integrating people, place, process and technology" To make phpGroupWare support this field - I have contributed with the applications 'hrm','property' and 'sms' along with some features of the API - as ACL2, SHM-support, custom-fields, pdf-export I started as a novice back in 2001 by porting and twisting 'projects' - and threw it all away - and started over in 2002 using the XSLT approach. The configuration as a FM-system is the whole range of the core apps (except email) in addition to 'hrm','property' and 'sms'. The system has been working very nice for our company - and since then I have tried to convince all in my line of work that phpGroupWare would solve all their problems. The problem has always been that "The system might be good - but you are the system - what if you died?" Now - there is a shift - as a private company has seen the potential and is delivering professional training and support. The interest is picking up - and phpGroupWare is seriously being evaluated as FM-systems for a number of organisations. We are getting some funds from various sources - and my goal is to have as many implementations as possible and try to motivate the organisations to build competence of their own and to sign up to the community.
