Core Contributors Introduction Thread!

Heya!

I am Xavier Antoviaque, the founder of OpenCraft, and an early contributor to Open edX – actually, I do have the privilege of the first merged pull request to the platform from the community outside of edX, right after the project became open source in 2013: #34 :stuck_out_tongue: I was (and still am) an avid MOOC user at the time, and when I saw that Open edX was being published, I was glad to have an occasion to give back to a community I had received so much from! And I’ve been enjoying contributing to it ever since.

I don’t code as much nowadays, so as a core contributor I am currently a project manager & moderator, helping with projects like governance, the core contributor program, the contributor meetup, or coordinating contributions – including making sure we at OpenCraft keep contributing the majority of our client work to the platform.

I am a nomad, working remotely from multiple places all around the world – including Spain, the US, France, Polynesia, the US… Staying at each place around 2-3 months, before going to the next one…

There are many activities that I like – from movies/series, to paragliding/aviation, free diving, horse riding, reading… and of course, traveling!
