The Joomla Bamboo Team
Anthony Olsen - Lead designer and Head Bamboo
I first started to learn Joomla around three years ago when I needed a website for my Acupuncture practice. In learning Joomla I discovered how easy it was to learn and to design for. A curiousity became a compulsion and late in 2006 Joomla Bamboo was born. I love minimal, clean and interesting design - this love drives the designs that we put out each month. When Im not coding, designing or treating people Im most likely hanging out in Melbourne with my family of three young girls and wife.
Lives to: Design, surf, communicate
Listens to: Downtempo electronica/ambient, Folk acoustic and Film soundtracks
Jason D'Souza - Resident Code Detective and all round good guy
A Melbourne based web developer and tech enthusiast who loves all things code. The last decade has seen me learn, play and work with various languages and platforms. A compulsive learner, I currently find myself developing for the web. You'll find me busy tinkering with PHP, CSS, JQuery, Python, CodeIgniter and yes, Joomla! If I had more time on hand I would love to teach, play more soccer and read a book every day. I'm still on my first bite of the web and can never type fast enough.
Lives to: run, learn, make things better ...
Listens to: indie folk rock acoustic experimental
Seth Warburton - (semi)Professional Geek and Forum Addict
A relative newcomer to Joomla!, I love its ability to empower people with rapid self-expression. I used to hand-code XHTML and CSS, Joomla! gave me a better way to spend my time! My corporate background in product development and tech support gives me a good footing from which to troubleshoot most issues. A compulsive tinkerer, I've broken, then repaired, most OS and hardware platforms, learning along the way. As a family man, my wonderful wife and two young kids form the center of my world. Born-again Linux evangelista and FOSS advocate in my free time, I now try to make a living as a freelance web-designer.
Lives to: Learn, tweek, outwit and spend time with my kids.
Listens to: Anything good. In love with the 6 Music radio station.
Ed Hathaway - Forum mod and the godfather
Been involved since the early days of Mambo (ver.4) and have enjoyed being apart of this open source community. Currently I have over 40 Joomla websites on production servers ranging from the very small to mega sites getting millions of hits a year. I love great frameworks and the challenge of creating something unique for my clients. As an Athletic Director I work with kids everyday teaching them the values of team building and the life lessons that come from working together.
Lives to: Create, play sports, and teach
Listens to: The Beatles, kids (the real communicators) and my wife!
