Behind The Scenes: The Team

Our team is working hard to bring Mira together and deliver an Open Source groupware platform which will be feature-rich, extensible, easy-to-use and flexible enough to be useful in a myriad of situations and environments, both in the workplace and at home.

Introductions

PROJECT MANAGER: Max Bossino

I am primarily a web developer, originating from Gibraltar, GI. However, being a Linux enthusiast, I soon found myself involved in Open Source projects and when I discovered the vast increase in productivity offered by groupware platforms, and the poor state of existing Open Source groupware solutions, I took it upon myself to begin one. Mira Groupware is the second Open Source project which I have fully participated in and in both cases I have offered my skills as a manager and web designer to co-ordinate the development of the application and build their websites.

I am fluent in English and Spanish, semi-fluent in French and am currently learning Italian. On the information technology side, my skills are mainly in the areas of networking and information security and I am fluent in the following programming languages:

  • XHTML
  • CSS
  • PHP (with database backends).

I look forward to Mira's imminent success!

LEAD DEVELOPER: Alan Alvarez

I'm a hobbyist programmer. My main language is C++. I've been writing in C++ for about 5 years now mostly things related to networking and databases. Networking and Programming are the things I'm mostly interested in when it comes to computers. Other languages I've used are C and Assembly language (not a lot).
I'm currently enlisted in the U.S. Army as an “Information Technology Specialist”. Most of what I do here is system and network administration and very little programming in php, c# and c++/cli for trivial projects within my previous unit.

On a personal note, I'm originally from the Dominican Republic, but have been living in the United States since the year 2000.

DEVELOPER: Thurston Stone

I've been programming professionally for about 8 years. I've programmed in C++, C#, but lately I've been working on python projects. At work, I use mostly Windows environments (with MKS for unix emulation) and I have both Windows workstations and Linux servers at home. I'm comfortable in both environments. I'm very excited about the potential of this project and will do what I can to help it reach that potential.

DEVELOPER: Justin Williams

Well.. Lets see here… I started coding at age 9 in HTML (if one can call that coding..), then moved into making simple little applications in VB (Long before .NET). From there, I saw the light that is Linux and started using it 100% of the time strait away. Jumping in headfirst, I started learning C++ so I could continue developing applications.

As far as the here and now… Some programming languages I know fluently are C, C++, Java, C#, D, Perl, Python, Ruby (with and without Rails), PHP, and of course Web stuff (CSS, (X)HTML, Javascript). I also dabble in IDA Pro (in VMWare) and know security applications like Metasploit and Ettercap quite well. I'm also fluent in German and Koine Greek.
