A Fool’s Wisdom

Wordpress hackers and testers,

I want to introduce myself. I am looking to contribute to Wordpress primarily in testing and quality reporting. I will be volunteering at least 5 hours starting this week and every week until I say otherwise. 

Tonight I sent the following email:

I am one of the two person QA team for Flock. I have the great pleasure of working with Eli Goldberg. Oh, I don’t like the term QA — I don’t assure quality, I report on the quality to influence the stakeholders to improve the quality. I have about five years relevant experience mostly in enterprise solutions. For 4 years I was with IBM on a High Availability, Down System DB2 Advanced Support team.

I think Wordpress is the premiere blogging platform, and open source is an important value proposition to me. I am also a great fan of Matt Mullenweg My contribution so far has only been in promoting Wordpress. Most recently on Gerv Markham’s blog, but my second comment has not yet been approved by Gerv.

I don’t like public speaking, but I have gotten up at two conferences and made sure Wordpress was in the context. Both were recorded
