| Andrea Rennick | Hi I’m Andrea, I’m a stay at home mom. I like to do stuff with WordPress, figure it out and sometimes even write about it. Oh, and I like to quilt. |

| karmatosed | Hey there *wave. I’m a web designer with a passion for WordPress and a huge huggy soft spot for BuddyPress. I’m often found torturing pixels and obsessing over colour schemes. I’m currently focusing on themes and have some of my own projects due this year. I also in a few weeks will be attending my first WordCamp something I’ve meant to do for a few years now and finally doing with WordCamp UK. I attempt to have an offline life too involving 2 dogs, running and yoga. |

| bowe | I’m Bowe, Dutchy, living in Amsterdam (well actually I live extremely close to it, but I just like to pretend that I actually live IN Amsterdam) and I’ve been messing around with BuddyPress and WordPress for the last two years or so. I’m pretty sure that I’m one of the few people in the world who actually started with BuddyPress and then slowly moved into the world of WordPress. Maybe that tells you a little bit about the type of person I am. I love to build communities in real life and on the web, and I spent most of my free time away from my mac, spending time with my friends, chillaxing with my awesome dog, and basically enjoying my time on this lovely planet (that’s the hippie part in me speaking up) the WordPress community has been the most awesome community I’ve ever been part of, hence my intention to focus my working career on working with and a long side the community. I’m running a BuddyPress Tips and Tricks community called BP-Tricks for a while, and besides that I’m available for freelance WordPress and BuddyPress development and consultancy. For the last 8 months me and a friend have been working on a WordPress product called Infinity. Currently we call it a “anti-framework” and I hope to be able to tell you guys all about it in the near future. That’s about it! |

| tomhermans | Hi, I’m Tom. I built websites, built my own cms, realised it was crap, found WordPress and never looked back. I still build websites, but now on WP I do many different things which is great ’cause I have a small attention span and I uhmm.. where was I .. oh yeah, right.. I started freelancing a half year ago and since then work mainly as frontend designer and UI/UX guy for a few Belgian web agencies and Sony. The rest of the time I’m mostly occupied with designing and coding custom WP themes, configuring installs, and the occasional plugin hack to suit my or the clients’ needs. I’m reading the WP Plugin book to learn how to write ‘em from scratch, but still need a lot of training. I also spoke at WordCampNL last year and a WP Meetup a few days back, and hope to do stuff like that more in the future too. Plus, I hope to release at least one free, responsive theme (and maybe a simple plugin for a common problem) this year and build further on my skills in all things web. |

| Rev. Voodoo | Hi…I folks call me the reverend, or Rev. Voodoo. I run VoodooPress. Just a basic WP site with tutorials and stuff. All pretty beginner stuff just trying to help folks get started with customizing, especially child themes. I don’t work with WordPress, wish I did! I spend most of my days at work knee deep in government documents, or shooting guns. I have a fair bit of down time, and that’s when I spend a lot of time poking WP with a stick until I break it, than trying to figure out what I did wrong. Other than that my time is spent trying to hang out with my wife for a few minutes, and working on my master’s. I’ve been working with WP since 2.1, and finally went to my first WordCamp recently in Columbus. Met a lot of cool folks, got to put some faces with some names. Looking forward to my next one, Detroit if I can work it out! |

| nexusgx | At the risk of digging up a few weeks old post, I feel I should introduce myself anyway My name is Steve, and I have been developing in WordPress for almost a year now (since just after 3 came out). I have created a decent framework for church management, but am not in a position to release it yet as it is still being debugged. I also work a lot in jQuery and Javascript as well as running my own blog over at Tiny Threads |

| seamusb | Hi – I am Seamus and I am software developer living and working in Dublin. I have been using WordPress since the late 19th century when I discovered that it complemented my beard.

| David Coveney | Howdy, I’m Dave, I boss people around at interconnect/it, and I’m a WPaholic! I have to say, I think what’s going on here at WPCandy is excellent. I really hope it develops well. I became a Dad last year, and will have another child shortly, so at times I’ve not been able to pay as much attention to efforts in the community such as this one. However, business is stabilising and I’m hoping to have more time to keep in touch in future |

| melissacarbo | I’m Melissa and this is one of my first steps in WordPress for Dummies! I am the President of StaffingReviews.com which is a website geared at positive reviews (accountability) for Staffing Companies. The idea is great and the site was redeveloped on a WP platform (if that’s the right word). Unfortunately, I am stuck with what I want in my head and what I am getting on the screen. So in order to make the 2 connect I am here trying to learn something and meet maybe some experts in the process. Hi! |

| syrehn | Hey everyone, I’m Amber a.k.a Syrehn. I’m a front-end web developer from Canada ( heck yeah I do say Eh! ). I teach web development at a local college in addition to contracting myself out to design studios and the occasional individual client. I luv luv luv what I do! WordPress makes me tingly and I am in the process of developing several nifty plugins. I also work on custom themes, installations etc and at the end of the day I enjoy hunkering down in my cave and hammering out several of my own projects. My motto is “Educate Not Enable” and you can probably find me lurking around the interwebz. |

| steveorevo | Don’t know how I missed this topic thread before; but here goes: I’m Steve, aka Steveorevo. Old school game and simulation programmer turned javascript monkey and PHP enthusiast. I’m into 3D rendering (both graphics and rapid prototyping in my garage). When I’m not geeking out and at risk of losing a finger at a saw blade, (who am I kidding, I’m always geeking out) I enjoy snowboarding, playing catch with my two labs (man they can throw far!), lifting weights or trying worldly cuisine. My latest creation/obsession is http://serverpress.com and I’m crazy for WordPress and kinda just crazy in general.
