About the Author

Dave Johnson is a North Carolina-based software developer who has worked in a variety of software companies including Rogue Wave, HAHT Software and SAS Institute. In 2002, unable to satisfy his urge to create cool software at work, Dave worked nights and weekends to create the open source, Java-based Roller blog server. Roller’s popularity at JRoller.com led to its adoption by Sun and IBM for internal and external blogs. It’s now known as Apache Roller and is a project of the Apache Software Foundation. Dave now works as a Social Software Architect on the App Platform team at Sun Microsystems.
