About myself:
I am a professional software developer for more than 9 years now. I develop software in a wide array of languages (PHP, Java, JME, XSL, Javascript, SQL, CSS, XHTML, shell-script ... just to name a few) and always try to stay on the bleeding edge of new technologies and methodologies. Linux is my daily work system both on my work computer and my server. Learning new technologies is exciting fun!

My web company, Keleo, is now in business and ready to handle your needs:

• Open Source, technology and work blog
• Website creation (preferred with BIGACE)
• BIGACE Support contracts
• Custom software development (PHP, Java, SQL, JME, Javascript ...)
• and some BIGACE Freebies (will release some more soon!)
• ... all kind of web related projects ...

About BIGACE:
When I started with BIGACE I needed a system for myself and wanted to stick my nose deeper into PHP. As the project grew and the world of Open Source became a part of my daily life, I published this CMS under the GPL. The website was created, the documentation and forum were installed. Then I moved to a dedicated server, created the demo website and nightly build system. Its still a long way to go, but there is already stuff in the pipeline I will write about in the next weeks, especially about BIGACE 3.0 which will be based on the Zend framework, so stay tuned!

For the future I hope that the team grows and we get help by and for the community.
