Tim Hacking away at code =)
About me…
Hi! My name is Tim Groeneveld. I am an Australian open source software developer, who loves programming fun and useful software, that is easy to use, and fast to run!
I was born in September, 1990, and started my first web application, which was called ‘NetPets‘, when I was 11, while I was in year 6. Written in Perl, it has basically molded the layout of all my source code to this day. The creation of NetPets was basically my first major project, and yes, I will be the first to admit, it was the most insecure web application a person could come across.
One of my largest open source software projects, ShareSource is a site where people can collaboratively develop software projects. It is in active development, and I care for it deeply. The first piece of code was written for it around January 2007, while I was in school holidays for projects by a friend of mine, Jordan Bracco and I were looking for a place to host code for a new project we were starting. We could not find any site that provided the features we wanted, so I said that I would start on my own, which would be fast (load time and page generation time) and easy to use

- I live in Australia, Newcastle, which is a pretty cool place. Most of the time.
- I love almost all genres of music, especially when it’s true music, and not generated by the sausage factory.
- I’ve been interested in computers since I was 5, and my Dad was playing around with getting two machines (that had Windows 95 installed on them). It was a joyous moment when he and I could watch the same movie from the Windows 95 CD on the two computer screens.
- Everyone I have ever met (except for around four people) I have liked.
These days, I spend most of my time working at Digital Pacific, my day job – as a System Engineer. I make sure things work. In my spare time, I hack on MyBanco, an open source project to create core banking software. I also lead the WiPhy project, which aims to give free wireless Internet access to all.
Dear Tim,
We are interested in starting a community bank. Would you say your software MyBanco with some tweaks is already operational enough to be used for such a purpose?
Also, how easy is it to localize in another language for our customers who are nog English?
Regards,
Dan Roodt
Tim, I read with interest your post regarding opennic and alternate TLD’s. I have an idea / question I wanted to ask you but cannot find your contact info.
I tried to install myBanco without any luck whatsoever!
I THINK it installed just fine, but there are (seems to be) somethin(s) missing,
like Admin page is blank, login goes to 404 error (there is no /login/), etc.
Anyway to contact someone/speak to someone about what is (might) be wrong?
Hi,
do you have any vmware image for mybanco software on Windows or Linux platform.
Thanks
