If I weren't talking to you right now I'd be ...
Designing (UML) the follower of SOBI 2.

I wish people would take more notice of ...
... reading documentation.
... understand what Open Source really means.
... consider that we at Sigsiu.NET consist of only two people.

A phrase I use far too often is ...
This is impossible. It cannot be. In most cases I'm wrong :-)

The most suprising thing that has happened to me is ...
That I met my wife at Ebay.

I'm good at ...
It's hard to say but I believe I'm good in my job.

I'm very bad at ...
To break from work and go away from my computer.

The ideal night out is ...
Grill in our backyard with a good wine and after that watch some nice sci-fi film. All this with my wife.

The best age to be is ...
Each year I think that this is exactly the best one. So I suppose somewhere between 5 and 100.

What did you dream of becoming as a child?
A jet fighter pilot.

My philosophy on life is ...
Almost like in the song of The Beatles: Live and let ... live. Means live as you like and be tolerant.

How did you get involved in Joomla?
One of my fellow students showed me Mambo and we built our first own company site with this CMS.

I am involved in Joomla because ....
It's a bit funny story. My wife and I  had the idea to build a regional portal web site for our city. For that site we created a companies directory component - SOBI. This first version was based on JAddresses. We shared this component with the Joomla! community. The reaction was really great and we got a lot of feature requests. So we decided to write a fully new component - SOBI 2. Since then it is part of our life. By the way, the regional site for which we've created SOBI, is still not ready ;-)

What one feature would you like to see in Joomla?
After I saw Joomla! 1.6 - nothing more :-D

What is the first extension you install in Joomla?
You don't want to believe it, but ... SOBI 2SOBI 2. And in most cases nothing more. I haven't created any other live site with Joomla! for a long time. All sites I create at the moment are different demo, test and development sites for SOBI. Otherwise we are using SOBI for nearly everything - download directory, manual, FAQ and even as a review or blog component.

Complete the sentance "Joomla rocks the world because ..."
"... it is the best and the most flexible CMS out there with a great community."
