[TYPO3-ect] [TYPO3-extension-coordination] Introducing ECTmembers

[Seibert, Norman]

> Introducing ECT members:
Norman Seibert

> * Your developing experiences

To be honest I am no "real" programmer with detailed knowledge about
design patterns etc. I do database design and programming in PHP and
VB.NET on an intermediate level mainly for creating TYPO3 extensions,
e.g. LDAP authentication.

> * Your experience with TYPO3 in special

My first TYPO3 project was a corporate website 2.5 years ago and in the
meantime I built some mid-sized websites and intranet portals. During
these projects I created a dozen extensions for various purposes
reaching from authentication and SSO to a payment solution.

> * Interesting TYPO3 projects you have done

Some extensions :-)
Seminar database with payment solution using VeriSign
Corporate websites with heavy CSS usage

> * Professional profile

Currently I am working as a senior consultant and project manager for
mid-scale software development projects. My last project lasted 1.5
years, included 2.000 days of work and was J2EE-based. In the near
future I want to gain some experience in SAP and Business Intelligence.
The TYPO3 stuff I do beside my normal job as a freelancer therefore I am
not able to complete really big TYPO3 projects.

> * Experiences in team leadership and project management

During my studies I founded my own company (it still exists) and built
up a team during my last project I lead a team of 8-12 persons over 1.5
years.

> * Your expectations for the ECT

- Improve compatibility of extensions.
- Deliver some best practices (how many of you copy parts of their code
from tt_news?).
- Create some concepts for SSO and TYPO3 portals.
- Setup extension rating again. Perhaps in a c't like style in the T3N
magazine for hot topics like calendar extentions.

> * Subprojects that you want to support

- Authentication, SSO, portals, "Partner Framework"
- Extension rating
- AJAX, mainly evaluation; currently I would rather do some prototyping
and watch the market. The whole thing is too hot to vote for one
implementation now and too complex to do our own.

Best wishes
