I am a software developer based in Cape Town passionate about the I.T industry and it’s potential to bring about a positive impact on the world.

I also really enjoy making developer’s lives easier by thinking through current software development standards, and how to best utilize them to allow developers to focus on what they really want to do.

I am a bit of a programming nerd:)

Jonathan Bossenger

I’m an open source advocate who believes in sustainable business building by equipping my clients with tools that work for their business goals. As a lifelong learner, I’m always finding new projects and skills to refine. I have spoken about several topics at WordCamps, Meetups, and in podcasting including how to contribute to open source and understanding the GPL. I’m also one of co-organisers of the WordPress Cape Town Meetup, work on the Seriously Simple Podcasting plugin, and am an expert at Codeable. When I’m not performing code reviews, you can find me spending time with my children, training Gracie Jiu Jitsu, and mentoring others in the WordPress community.

We’ll let this news sink in for a few days and announce the complete WordCamp schedule soon!
