From Symbian Developer Community

Hamish Willee

I'm currently consulting for the Symbian Foundation. I'm responsible for ensuring that the Wiki is well structured and easily navigable. I'm also responsible for defining the Wiki localisation/internationalisation strategy, and for managing the content migration from legacy Symbian websites.

If you have any suggestions about our wiki, either structure of content, I'm your go-to guy!

A bit about my career

For the last 10 years I've lead teams providing professional services in Symbian C++ to Symbian's partner and 3rd party developer community. As a leader I focus on leveraging the talents of team members in order to achieve project goals. I coach each individual to share their skills, and I systematically capture their positive contributions in ways that make it easy for others to emulate.

As a developer, I enjoy the challenge of solving technical problems, ranging from structuring a knowledge base and crafting code, to delivering training and presentations in Symbian C++.

When combined, my leadership and technical skills ensure my teams are high-performing and excel at creating, capturing and sharing information between technical and non technical audiences.

And about me ...

I live in Melbourne (Australia) with my wife Jen, three small boys, and a cat "Biscuit", that thinks he lives with us (his owner may think differently!).

My three small children ensure that life is never boring. We spend a lot of time on the trampoline (I guess you could say life has its "ups and downs"), swimming lessons, and adventures. We do a lot of walking, and in a year or two when Leo is no longer a toddler we'll be doing a lot of bike riding and start camping again.

Comments

I agree on the dire naming of Core idioms - can we come up with a better name? If we change the page name, can we set an autoforward? I'm just wanting to link to it from the bugs DB, and I don't want the link to break in the future...

Jo was here. Hamish, how long has it taken you to notice? That is, is this a practical way of contacting our users? Do they get notification when this page is edited, or do they have to set a watch?

Hamish: Right away. Will send you email on this topic

Nithya: Thanks for putting up the category in the Tracking Package feature. This page is yet to be linked and will be when consensus is reached.

• I promised you a copy of the Demand Paging book didn't I? Will put one in the post on Tuesday.

• In Mediawiki (the wiki engine you are running) when an user's page is modified the user is notified. Also when a page is renamed the software automatically creates a redirect (from the old name to the new name). --Bugmenot2 20:44, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
