Ok, a bit about myself:
I came to Qt via KDE/KMail. I was annoyed by the lack of flexibility of the
filter dialog in KMail and my first contribution was to make it more like the
one Netscape Mailer had, back then. That was 2002-ish. If you want to have a
good laugh at your's truly, have a look there, some code probably survives to
this day.
Before that, I had done some work on documenting the crypto parts of the Linux
kernel in the Linux Encryption HOWTO (I even have shared copyright of the
kernel, though all I ever contributed was a crypto algorithm ported over from
GnuPG, and that code probably is long gone).
In late 2003, I was hired by KDAB where I still am. I contributed less to KDE
from then on. Many Trolls might remember me from the three years I was in
Oslo for a Trolltech customer, that was 2004-2007. I miss grill parties in
the snow and listening to young Opera singers at Underwater pub :)
Recently I've been trying to specialise in C++11 and Multithreading. I also
liked working with Boost (buh!), though I dropped out around 1.35 and haven't
had the time to come up to speed again.
As anyone who's gotten a review from me can attest, I try to be hard bargain
(probably comes from the attack thinking I attained when doing the crypto
stuff), but you're free to pay me back :)
My bible is http://www.gotw.ca/publications/c++cs.htm, in case you'd like to
prepare :)
Outside C++/Qt, I'm (in)famous for my Sushi appetite and insisting on quality
food, of which I sadly eat too much.
Having passed through Oslo and Berlin, I currently live near Frankfurt/Main
with my wife.
Thanks,
Marc
