What has I been doing for a long time?
I was working in IT field for a sum of 10 years now, mostly in multi-national IT consulting firms. My role range from being a developer, system analyst, presales, project manager, service department head and even sometime as human resource manager. The company selling custom development projects, enterprise solution such as EAM, ECM, ERP and etc. So, although I was a serious developer before (mostly .NET and slightly Java), I wasn’t in the role of doing it for a very long time. At least 4 – 5 years for which my most important piece of software is Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint :_<. Lately, I was always asking myself on what I am doing in this IT business. One factor that is very hard is always the push for the revenue number from both the commpany and software vendor and this make IT project was always price over value and never can commit for the success for the customer.
What am I trying to do now?
I quitted the company and trying to find something to do that not only pay myself, but also the sense of return back to the soceity. Volunteering was the first thing coming up as it is most visible and it was what I have been doing for the last full year, partly to reduce my guilt as always working for a profit organization. This year, I was invited by a firend to help in a project for his SME business which will be using ADempiere. This project has really introduced me to the world of Open Source, where it was always a myth to me. As ADempiere, Open Source for Business seem to be where the return for the soceity and personal interest can be met, and I hope this is where the new chapter can begins.
Where am I?
