Thibault Le Meur (lemeur)

He also helped debug the beta 1.4x branch which gave him quite a good knowledge of the code. He has several projects for LimeSurvey such as: pre-filled surveys, online HTML editor, media upload per question and specific template, ...

Thibault is 33 years old and works as a network and system administrator and security officer in Supélec - France. 

Jason Cleeland  (jcleeland)

Project Founder/Developer

Jason is from Melbourne, Australia and is the originator of this project, having led and developed LimeSurvey when it was known as PHPSurveyor. After taking some time off in 2005 & 2006, he has returned as an active developer on the project.

Jason wrote LimeSurvey as a project for work, but saw that it had the potential for much wider use, so released it as Open Source¹ project on Sourceforge. It was his payback for all the great open source products he has used both personally and for work purposes.

Jason is 37 and works in IT, and online software development. He can be reached at jason[at]cleeland.org .

¹ Ownership and permission to release as Open Source was granted by my employers of the time (CPSU) - after some long discussions about the benefits of Open Source development!

Sébastien Gaugry (b00z00)

Translator

Sébastien is our ongoing french translator. He is 32 years old and living in Metz/France. He does/did great work and translated the whole LimeSurvey project (including website and documentation) to french and is one of our oldest team members.

Esteban A. Pérez (DGEAPerez)

Developer/Translator

Esteban is working in conditional relations within answers (not only equals). He helps with translation into Spanish and migrating from tag attribute hardcoding to CSS.
He is from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Born in 1971. He worked as programmer until 1998, since when he became interested in web designing and in UI design programming. He is bored about programming just for data calculation, he found more fun programming UI or making graphics (static or animated). He is about to obtain his degree diploma on Graphic Design.

Josef Prandstetter (ElMatador69)

Quality Assurance

Josef used LimeSurvey for his diploma thesis. In return for the great support of the community he translated the manual to German. At this work he got to know LimeSurvey very well and so he even found some bugs. He started to report them and expanded in this matter. Now he is a available for all developers to test their modifications on the code and he is doing that very well and keeps us up on our feet!

Gustavo San Román (Leochaton)

Developer

Gustavo is from Peru but lives in Canada, he began with LimeSurvey as part of his work and now he is member of the developer team. He is particularly interested in the extensibility and “integrability” of LimeSurvey. 

Want to join the team ?

LimeSurvey can use help from anyone who wants to assist. That's why it's public domain, GPL etc. It's a free script, if you think of an idea and you can implement it, join the development group and play a part.

If you'd like to help you are welcome -  but the script is an eclectic piece of junk programming and frankly if you can't figure out how to start, we'll help. Really! At the very least Jason can remember what most of it does, most of the time.
