Meet the Team
IT Chapters November 6th, 2006After volunteering, I recently took the post of Patch Manager within the Subtext software project. My role until recently has been pretty minor, essentially working on the API support for Subtext.
Subtext is a fork of the old .TEXT blogging platform. Phil Haack is our “benevolent leader” (I think he made that title up.
) and its been a great journey learning a ton from him and the platform. I’m going to hopefully put forward a feature request to get an import function from Wordpress so I can start blogging off of Subtext. It seems a little contradictory to work on a blogging engine but use another.
Essentially my role is to make sure patches that are posted are applied and tested before committed to the code base. Looking forward to getting more involved!

Benevolent Dictator is a term I stole from DotNetNuke and other Open Source projects. Various projects use that term as a tongue in cheek term for the project leader.
Welcome aboard!
