[consulting] Introduction

[Bèr Kessels]

Hello,

I am Bèr Kessels, a lone Drupal consultant. After dropping in just before the 
3.00 release, I got more actively involved some time after that, with my 
first contributed module.

About 18 months ago I decided to become a freelance Drupal consultant under 
the name of webschuur.com. All the coding I do and all the themeing I do is 
around Drupal. (Though recently I am working a little with Ruby on Rails, 
mostly to see what that hype is all about).

Four months ago, me and two people I work with, a lot, Jaap and Pepijn, 
started a company called sympal. This is a Drupal hosting provider. Nothing 
like bryght, since we only host websites that we customise and develop for 
clients. We wanted to release last month but both the long delay on the new 
release and the Form API "hell" are currently holding us. Well, that, and the 
fact we all have not much time to spare to just start coding and just get 4.7 
out of the door, off course :).

The hosting management system (povisioning) for our host is called diskhosting 
and is open sourced (sourceforge). More about that later, but it will be a 
free management / provisioning system special for drupal (it now has optional 
drupal or mambo installers).

Oh, and I am known for ranting about themability thingies. I theme a lot, 
since I beleive that to be the ultimate customisation part of Drupal.
