I have a masters degree in Business Communication (Universiteit Utrecht, Netherlands) and started working in the late nineties writing on line help systems and internet pages. A +5 years search for a decent content management system to support such publications led me to Drupal (4.something). Over the last +5 years I worked as webmaster, developer, technical writer and project manager in various Drupal projects in companies and a university college in Spain and Belgium. I've been involved in Drupal as member of the documentation team (writing among others the embedded Drupal 7 help (http://www.example.com/admin/help), by helping out in forums, translating, being a driving force behind the Dutch Drupal website drupal.be and by organizing events.

Since first using open source software and most in particular using Drupal I felt the urge to contribute back to the products I am enjoying using. As a non-progammer, I tried to contribute to the Drupal project by organizing events, writing documentation, translating and helping out other users.
