David Plans Casal’s Summary
Working in the FLOSS arena since 1998, first as a freelancer and then as part of Luminas, then Orixo and now Sourcesense, I've seen the bottle spin a couple of times and have managed both small and large Open Source problems. The main problem spaces I've encountered are online audiovisual archives and web-based content management.
While my roles have centered around research, pre-sales, and project management, I have become a proficient software developer in my preffered field : online media archives, and am currently developing research projects in C++, Ruby and Puredata.
I would like to get my hands dirty in further Open Source projects, especially around large data integration problems, and believe firmly that my main gift is that of conversation at the onset of a problem, and the possible implementation of a solution.
