Hi! My name is Sylvain Wallez. I'm French and live in Toulouse in the south of France. I started using Cocoon in July 2000 and since then got more and more involved in Apache's meritocratic organization:

April 2001: committer on Cocoon (this is when the picture above was taken, my hair is a lot more grey now),
December 2002: member of the newly created Cocoon PMC,
January 2003: committer on Avalon (now closed and moved to Excalibur)
June 2003: member of the Apache Software Foundation,
June 2004: vice-president of the ASF, Apache Cocoon (i.e. Cocoon PMC chairman), a role which I left in May 2006,
September 2004: member of the initial Jackrabbit committer group, although I haven't done much there up to now.
Mentor of Felix, Wicket, Ivy and Shindig.

You can find a lot more about me on my blog, including a detailed bio, and daily thoughts and ramblings on my Twitter!
