We think the actual miniBB team consists of a very large crowd: it includes our premium customers, classified supporters, end users, and even those people interested in our product, while simply browsing our website. Each individual paying attention to miniBB may be called a part of our huge miniBB team. We appreciate anybody's opinion, a request or a suggestion a lot, since we understand: without You there would be no miniBB.
Behind the code and the development of miniBB project, however, there are only two persons standing. This duo consists of:
Paul Puzyrev - the project's initiator and the leading head officer, controls mostly everything which affects the latest versions of the project, as well as customers support. Involved in the active web development since 1998 and having bachelor's degree / engineer's qualification in computer science, Paul has got a rich experience practicing in many areas of Internet-related programming and analysis. It includes content management systems (CMS), dating sites, private business online presentations, payment gateways and working with credit cards, eBay-related tools, and a lot of other custom websites implementations. Paul is always opened to a new knowledge and is getting new things quickly. Learning never stops for him. He believes before thinking of how to change the world around you, first you must try to change yourself. He has just two basic principles in business: 1) if you promise something, die hard but make it happen, and 2) if you're not sure you can make something happen, don't promise it. Also miniBB strictly follows this promising concept.
Sergei Larionov - the project's eyes and tongue, actively worked on the earliest versions of the project's core and several official plug-ins, currently keeping positions of copywriter, consultant and designer. Sergei has 5-year professional education (bachelor and engineering grades) and System Analyst degree. Involved in the active web development since 1999, has thorough experience in making various PHP/SQL/Perl/ActionScript/AJAX applications and *nix shell, worked with such known companies as eBay and Amazon, mostly involved in large enterprise application and web-service development, enterprise level hosting and online commerce, providing consulting services for large online commerce and internet related businesses. Sergei is also an enthusiastic hobby photographer and designer.
