[Grok-dev] Re: Neanderthal news II

[Jasper Op de Coul]

Hi Grok list,

I would like to participate on the grok sprint
and since this is the first time I post something to this list, I will
give a short introduction of myself.

I have been programming python for quite some time now, and started
working at Infrae about a year ago. A lot of my work is Zope related, in
either Plone or (more common) Silva. I have been following the Grok
development for some time now, and recently participated in the
EuroPython Grok sprint.
I'm really excited about the Grok project and would love to do some work
with it. I work with Martijn at Infrae, and he thought there would be
plenty of work for me to do during the sprint, maybe I can do some work
on the Admin UI.

Aroldo: I'll mail you offlist about the hotel reservations.

Cheers,
Jasper
