I started working at XWiki back in November 2006. At the time I was studying marketing in London and was looking for an internship. I started playing with and discovering wikis and quickly decided they had a lot of potential (check the Wiki category for articles I wrote back then). I contacted XWiki for an internship and after a couple late Skype calls with Ludovic (@ldubost) I started working part-time for the company from London.
In July 2007 I became an apprentice, working at XWiki 3 days a week while completing my Master 1 degree in marketing at the University Paris Dauphine. Then I worked part-time again from August 2008 to January 2009 while completing the first semester of my Master 2 degree in management, still at Dauphine. I went on to become a full-time intern in February 2009.
The time has now come for me to become a real employee :-) I'm one of XWiki's latest employee, having been hired on October 1st, 2009. And I even have a contract to prove it:
