BILLY HAYES's experience with Plone includes planning, management, coding, and delivery of many major sites, including www.siggraph.org and www.tigerturf.com.au. His work for Labnow used Plone, Linux, and OpenOffice to create a documentation control system for the medical device company's work in developing HIV-monitoring tools for use in resource-poor communities. That system has been used for regulatory, quality, HR, and MSDS materials, as well as internal software maintenance, documentation, and training materials.
Billy is currently a web administrator for the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department, and is conducting the migration of the agency's content-rich sites from LAMP to Plone.
CARLOS DE LA GUARDIA has been doing web consulting and development since 1994, when selling any kind of project required two meetings just to explain what the Internet was in the first place. He was cofounder of Aldea Systems, a web consulting company where he spent ten years working on all kinds of web projects using a diverse range of languages and tools. In 2005, he became an independent developer and consultant, specializing in Zope and Plone projects. He frequently blogs about Plone and other Zope-related subjects.
