At the time of this post we're officially 16 members and activity is
unsuprisingly low. I'm hoping to kickstart the activity with a "Who
are you?"-thread. I'm going to answer in English but you are free to
answer in whatever language you feel like.
Who are you?
I'm a consultant at Qbranch on Lilla Essingen in the middle of
Stockholm. I tend to do work in the area between sourcing and
development, tieing them both together.
Whats your role in a development team?
I'm the guy trying to understand as much as possible of everything.
How did you get started with Groovy?
I got in touch with Groovy about 3 years ago on a small company called
nSpike. Groovy was used as a part of the glue in a component-based
architecture. I learned the basics but it wasn't until a couple of
months later when I found myself lacking a scripting language that I
started learning it for real.
Favorite thing about Groovy?
Probably the ease with which I can do stuff. But the two things that
will keep me coming back is Grails and custom DSLs.

Hi!
I'm a student at Medieinstitutet.se, previous roles have been startup
founder in London,
game developer, teacher, journalist. This summer will see a much
needed update of
my programming skills, from Fortran and Pascal, to Java and the new frameworks
and IDE's available. 47 this summer, married, three kids, a cat,
living in Norrkoping,
Sweden. I found this group through a classmate, Asal. I will try my darndest not
to ask too many newbie questions.
John

Hi everybody!
Who am I?
I'm a system developer at FindOut Technologies (http://www.find-
out.se) in Kista. Working mostly with web applications and public web
sites. I'm 34 years old with a wife and 3 kids.
How did I get started with Groovy/Grails?
Unlike most of the people into Groovy and Grails I don't have a
background within Java. What I do have a lot of experience in though
is Web front end development and scripting languages, mainly Ruby and
PHP. Earlier I've been involved in a couple of projects using MVC-
frameworks like Ruby on Rails and CakePHP. Since the company I work
for Is specialized in Java and I'm very fond of Scripting languages
and Rapid devlelopment, looking at Groovy and Grails was the most
natural thing.
Favourite thing about Groovy?
Absolutely Grails.

Hi,
Who I am... I'm a developer and architect working in Kista. I have done most of my coding in Java. 30 years old, married, one kid. I'm currently on parental leave until October 1, which means that there is a pretty good chance you might spot me pushing a stroller on Kungsholmen (Stockholm).
How I got started... It was Leonard that introduced me to Groovy just over a year ago when we were colleagues. Since then I've fallen in love with Groovy and want to learn more.
My favourite thing... Not sure at the moment, but I do like the simpleness and versatility.
