Hi all, As per Dirkjan’s suggestion (+1, by the way), being a new committer I thought I’d send around a quick email to introduce myself.
So hey! My name’s Ben Keen. I’m primarily a client-side developer and the bulk of my time will be spent working on Fauxton on behalf of Cloudant, for whom I now work. I’m new to both CouchDB and Fauxton. These last few weeks I’ve been wading through the Fauxton code getting up to speed. I’ve made a few smaller contributions here and there but once I grasp the fundamentals a little better I hope to contribute a good deal more. About me… I’ve been an open source programmer for many, many years and created a number of projects like generatedata.com, formtools.org, d3pie.org, birdsearch.org. These days, anything of any faint value will be found on my github account (http://github.com/benkeen). Anyway, it’s very good to be involved in CouchDB! Like I said, I’m new to it, so expect me to ask dumb questions from time to time while I get up to speed. :) Oh, and I’m also a birder. So if I trap you in an IRC conversation about birds, I apologize in advance. It’ll be boring. Bring coffee. Ben Site: http://benjaminkeen.com Twitter: @vancouverben
