6.What did you do for #Joomla community ? ( details preferred )
I was the first one to solve spamming issue in all FORMS of Mambo CMS in 2004, first with my component HashCash then rapidly by starting SecurityImages component. After Mambo forking, I did move all my projects the first day #Joomla! was created following the open source movement. All my code is always released under GPL v2/v3. I do also maintain a forum (more than 1000 users http://forums.waltercedric.com) and a WIKI and I am also famous for my articles on how to secure #Joomla! and #Linux server boxes. I really like to learn continuously new things and share my know how by writing blog entries.
What explains the number of #Joomla! projects I am maintaining is that I am always trying first to solve issues in my homepage, but then rapidly make a component out of it for the community. The most ambitious project is currently the start of a framework that allow #Joomla! projects to be continuously build and reduce code regressions.
7.How do you think about #Joomla and it’s future? ( details preferred )
I think the future is bright, but I would like to see more stuff going into the core libraries and also the start of continuous build that will ensure #Joomla! releases to occur often.
8. What do you want to say to Chinese #Joomla users ?
Just to say Hi to ALL of you, hope to be one day traveling to your beautiful country 🙂
