Tobias Liebig

Hi,

today Gina Steiner came up with an idea where she makes small interviews with people from the community that are already present and with people that are not. I liked that idea that much, that I contacted her and asked if we should work together. She was very thrilled about that and here we go. We start the series with an interview of Tobias Liebig:

Why TYPO3?

In the beginning, because I searched for stable and well working CMS for study project, than because I recognized that you can earn money from it beside the studies.
And today because it's fun, you can meet interesting and nice people,
because it's great to see that all working together on one thing,
because it's something useful to invest your energy in,
and last but not least to make the world a tiny little bit better. :-)

Your TYPO3 anecdote?

My first usergroup meeting:
I came from Flensburg, was around Hamburg and drove a larger detour just for attending the meeting. I arrived at 8pm to see only 4 persons who want to left the meeting at 9:15pm. That was assumedly the shortest usergroup meeting I've ever attended.
Nowadays this has luckily changed.

If you where a dictator, what would dicated first?

Abolish dictatorship!?

We will send a questionaire to some people we know but if you want to introduce yourself, take the questions and send an email to me or Gina and we will publish it.

Greets and thanks to Tobias,

Thomas
