- Talk about Wes here.
+ Wes is one of the newest members of the LDAPd group, and a founding
+ member of the Apache Directory Project, having joined the Apache Software
+ Foundation when LDAPd was absorbed into the Apache incubator.
</p>
</section>
+
+ <section name="Background">
+ <p>
+ As an IT profressional, entrepreneur, and father, Wes has worked in the Atlanta
+ metro area for over 14 years. Wes has always had a special love for Open Source
+ initiatives and their authors, having used open source applications with many of
+ the companies for which he has worked. Wes discovered LDAPd and Alex Karasulu
+ while searching for an open source project to integrate into his current employer's
+ commercial offerings. Having found LDAPd on SourceForge, he immediately got
+ excited about the synergies between the two products, and realized that Wes and
+ LDAPd had a lot to offer each other.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Wes is current involved with the Snickers subproject. Snickers is a drop in
+ replacement for the ASN.1 codec used by Eve. ASN.1 is the base protocol used by
+ all X.500 compliant LDAP servers. The Snickers subproject itself is broken up
+ into compiler and coder/decoder subprojects. Snickers will be a <b>non-blocking,
+ event driven</b> parser, setting itself apart from currently available open
+ source and commercial offerings.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Wes has taken a great interest in the database sub-system used by Eve and the orignal
+ LDAPd server. He has written several new backends, and also a entirely new indexing
+ scheme to handle the various technical challenges of the LDAP persistent storage.
