We have gathered some of the most skilled, experienced and respected Plone developers in the world to forge the best team possible.

Wichert Akkerman

Wichert used to lead the Debian Linux project. He currently runs the heavily trafficked website of plone.org and does release management for Plone 3.

Geir Bækholt

Geir does more communications than code these days, but has been part of the Plone project since its inception. He is responsible for a lot of the usability and styles work in Plone. Earlier he has worked with designing and securing large business-critical payment and membership solutions for tens of thousands of  subscribers in the online gaming sector.

Thor Arne Johansen

Thor Arne used to lead the R&D team at one of the leading international companies doing data recovery and computer forensics. In addition to designing and developing technology to perform analys of data storage media, he was responsible for several projects utilizing Plone to bring innovative solutions to the company's internal users, and the company's  customers.

Alexander Limi

Alexander is one of the original Plone Founders. His main area of expertise is User Experience and Interaction Design. He is responsible for most of the user interface design of Plone. He also helped pioneer the use of multilingual interfaces in the Zope and Plone worlds and put accessibility on the agenda for open source web frameworks.

Alexander is currently on leave to work with User Experience Design for Google in California — but is still on the board of directors of Jarn. Alexander holds a seat on the Plone Foundation board.

Denis Mishunov

CSS guru of Plone fame. Builds elegant solutions for visual design and styling.

Martijn Pieters

Martijn is a veteran Zope developer with a long history in web applications, and a background at companies like Zope Corporation and Pareto (yes, he has written parts of Zope itself). He fled the rush-traffic of the hectic Netherlands for Norwegian wilderness and easy-going-way of life with his wife, kids and cats.

Hanno Schlichting

Hanno is one of the most prolific long term Plone Core developers. He leads the internationalization team and is responsible for managing the bug trackers and assisting in release management of Plone. Before joining Jarn he worked as a technical consult in the German health care industry for eight years. During his university studies he also worked as a freelancer providing general IT service to educational institutions.

Florian Schulze

Florian juggles the client-side and server-side technologies just as skilfully as the weapons he wields in the martial arts he practices in his spare time.

Helge Tesdal

Helge loves doing the complex heavy things most application developers hate doing: indexing algorithms, caching solutions and things that require a deep understanding of math. Helge has a Master's degree from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. Earlier employers include Sun Microsystems and Copyleft Software. He is known for exceedingly elegant solutions to complex problems, and is responsible for most of LinguaPlone and some of the specialized indexing algorithms developed for Plone.

Christoffer Torris Olsen

Chris knows a bit about almost everything, and handles many tasks equally well. Before he came to Jarn, he was a self-employed consultant, and has been involved in several open source projects in the past. Outside work, he is a politician and plays electric bass.
