The OBM Core Team

Hi all,

for those who don’t know the OBM Core Team, here are a few introductions of the people who are making your favorite open source groupware.

Marlène Aupart

I’m the embedded tester in the Lyon scrum team. I verify the quality of obm and particularly around the PDA synchronisation.
I like to search bugs and find steps to reproduce them.

Matthieu Baechler

I’m a software craftman working on Java technologies. I’m working on OBM for about 2 years and enjoy making our free software better everyday with our great team. I’m now specialized on opush, our mobility component and lead the development team of Lyon.

Stéphane Colson

I’m working since 11 years for many software products (as a developer and as a QA engineer) and I joined the OBM team 17 months ago in Lyon with one major purpose: increasing the quality of the product.I’m leading the Quality Assurance team, and I know this can be very disturbing for developers to have someone putting temporarily a fix in trash or for improvement. But this is for the good of everyone. And I’m sorry for all the bruises caused by my friendly truncheons hits; again, it’s for the good of everyone ;) One more thing, I’m a big fan of agile processes especially scrum.

David Dolcimascolo

I’m a senior software developer working in the OBM team. I have a bachelor’s degree in computer sciences and 7 years of experience developing and driving Java projects. I’m glad to join Linagora and hope for a proficient collaboration!

Laurent Dubois

Half quality assurance engineer, Half software engineer, but 100% OBM.
Functional bugs receptionist in OBM R&D hotel. I observe and specify  before escort them to the development four-stars suite, and ensure they enjoy the stay. News functionalities are welcome as well !

Antoine Duprat

Enthusiastic in learning new technologies leads me to the IT. I have worked for 12 years in ERP domain, and I wanted more technologies than fonctionalities, so i chose Linagora.
I am also fond of vintage high-end audio components, Art Deco furnitures…

Thomas Hilaire

I’m a young developper who joined the free side of the power at LINAGORA 8 months ago.
I love tools and technologies with the “open” spirit which live by their community activity, each little things which compose OBM =). That’s why I have pleasure to work on it every days.

Far away of the grey weather of the capital, I help to envolve opush and obm-sync under the blue sky (or not) of Lyon !

Philipp Kewisch

My main area of work is acrobatics and clowning around. I juggle multiple concurrent releases of the Mozilla Calendar Project in one hand, while using my feet to react to changes from the Mozilla Platform. At the same time, I use my other hand to improve integration between Lightning and OBM. I also like to entertain new contributors and look forward to mentoring each and every one. I am a fan of clean code and working on large features. Should I not be working, I love to go rock climbing to keep my life in balance. My favorite meal of the day is breakfast.

Alexis Gavoty

I’m a young web developer, working for  3 years in web development and for few month on OBM. I like nasty  languages like PHP and JS, but appreciate more Ruby :) Internet neutrality activist and free software lover, I contribute  mostly to YunoHost & Jappix on my free time. I’m also fond of UI design,  cinema & computer generated music.

Jérémie Kornobis

Web-designer, Coder, Gamer & Musician* Geek lvl 23.
*also called make noise with guitar or keyboard.

Stephen Le Maistre

Hey folks ! My name’s Stephen Le Maistre and right now i’m a thirsty for knowledge junior developer for OBM. Geek, social misfit and nearly autistic, my boss even call me “The dark knight”… what ? Natural selection really does things bad. Meanwhile, my fellow workers always laugh at me because i’m coding between noon and two (eating some sandwiches) but wait … someone has to work in this team, hasn’t it ?!

Romeu Moura

Software craftman; ever‐curious; geek; code poet; fallacious spuriouſneſs debater; Emacs slinger; typography amateur; devouring bookworm.
Obm Technical Leader: architecting the better communication and organisation we all deserve and need.

Emmanuel Surleau

I’m a senior developper and serial troubleshooter. I’m responsible for the Perl machinery of OBM, as well as contributing to the maintainance of the Thunderbird connector, obm-sync and obm-ui. Sometimes, I will be found dabbling in non-mainstream languages such Haskell or Rust at odd hours of the night.

And now in picture,
