Good evening everyone. I ended here through a freedom oriented website. I have a background in maths and programing and im currently developing brain stimulation products (my new venture). Well, I decided to join the community to go deeper in my understanding of how it works and see what I can do to push the project forward. I am into developing new stuff freedom engineering oriented so i see this project as something really amazing.
Im really happy to be here and will make the most of this. Thank you guys for all what has been done, thatās really cool.

Hi, Iāve been watching SAFE since 2015.
I invent new ideas, develop software using Rust, and occasionally launch startups.
My background is primarily in internet infrastructure, automation, platform engineering, and immersive user experience.
My interests are internet freedom, privacy, security, and productive empowerment.
My current project is a next generation trading bot. My long-term research project is a next generation general purpose computing environment that will leverage SAFE as one of its backends. The method being income from the former to sustain me while I complete the latter.

Hey all, I am very new to decentralised hosting. I stumbled upon things like IPFS, MaidSafe, SHIFT, Freenet, Storj, etc. All these are really exiting to me! My goal is to get a website running on a decentralised network that is the most accessible to regular cleanet users. Is MaidSafe at a stage where I can get my website up and running as a beginner? If not what do you think the best rout would be for me to go in.
Really love the idea of your project and learning more every day!
Thank you.

Hi, Iām a retired, PC based, programmer/analyst. Iāve been interested in TOR and cyber currencies for a few years. I just ran across SAFE Network/MaidSafe, it sounds right up my alley! My two main hobbies are Diablo 3 and fitness.

My name is Randy. I actually already signed up before but I never really did anything with my account because I couldnāt figure out how to get started, and ultimately I lost my account information. Maybe I recycled it. But Iām here to try again to share a bit of my drive space so that others can speak, and to experiment and learn this new system.

Hello all,
I am Joost from Holland. I joined the forum in 2018, and have been following this project since the beginning of 2017. I will join the Vaults from Home test when it is up and running again, so I can say I am a tiny part of history in the making!

Hi everyone. I have been following the project for a few years. Found it while looking for secure internet options. Something about seeing user data traversing networks in the clear motivated me to look for something better.
Looking forward to running test nets and eventually moving to a decentralized internet. I still have the old launchpad app on my MAC. Thank you MaidSafe Team.

Hi guys, my name is Fred and I have been in crypto for some time. I am mostly interested into privacy, new technologies, and freedom of speech. Long time ago, this project caught my attention but I havenāt invested, lost attention, and eventually assumed the project is dead.
Today, while reading this article and I thought - I know those guys, they still do live. 
It appears to me you are reaching exactly whatās needed. Now I need to look around here, do some digging, ask some questions, and found out where I can help.
Happy to see you alive.

Hi, My name is Lucas, I am from Rio de Janeiro. I got to know about MaidSafe 3 years ago when I invested a little bit on this nice project. Now I see it has been developing wonderfully, I look foward to see its launch!
Thanks for your work, team Maid!

Hey all, Iām Alan, I currently live in New York, and I started following MaidSafe maybe 4 years ago or so. Iāve got a little more free time on my hands lately, so I thought this would be a perfect time to dive into open source and some of the technical aspects of SAFE, and Iām hoping to contribute to some of the core libraries where I can My background is mostly in embedded systems and real-time computing, and Iām kind of a tinkerer. Iāve also gotten into a bit of machine learning as of late. What free time I have left I use for martial arts (Krav Maga and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu), and Iām not a bad cook most of the time.
That said, Iāve got a (hopefully not too stupid) question for developers on the core side about what issues are up for grabs and what the etiquette is for proposing solutions. Can I assume that if the issue is not assigned, that itās open for me to propose an implementation or a fix for it in the comments? Iām a little unsure, as some issues seem to get merged without ever being assigned. The last large code base I worked in was for an established product, code ownership was stricter, and issues were mostly assigned to devs after triage by another team. In comparison this feels like the wild west lol, so Iām just trying not to step on anybodyās feet or accidentally start work on something thatās already got an implementation in the works 
Anyway, thatās my deal, nice to meet you all!

Im SanMig , former Test Analyst for the likes of Anaplan & Frogtrade, former DJ/Producer and Co-Founder of Leeds, West Yorkshire based Digital Society - when I lived a hedonistic lifestyle, once upon a time. Recently Iāve been involved in the property industry where I offered services in the short let space managing serviced accommodation properties nationwide and provided mentoring to other business owners attempting to grow and scale their SA businesses. Covid happened and now Im on a new journey where I have no idea where it will take me. Attained Prince2 Practitioner just before Covid with a view to getting involved in project work although finding it somewhat difficult to land anything right now.
My interests are crypto projects, music, sports (notably carp fishing, snowboarding amongst many other sports), new tech and family life.
Im here to learn more about Maidsafe and how to get involved, contribute and add value where I can.
Feel free to point me in any directions where I can learn any useful info/tips.
In the words of Terry Tibbs, āā¦much loveā.
