Chris Davenport

Chris is currently on the Production Leadership Team with particular responsibility for documentation. Chris first began programming on a DEC PDP8 in 1975.  He gained a degree in mathematics in 1979 and, after a brief spell as a mathematician in the aerospace industry, got sucked into the rapidly growing computer industry.  He discovered Mambo in 2003 while searching for a content management system for an intranet project. Although impressed by the product itself, he felt that the lack of documentation was a major weakness. Rather than complaining, he set about trying to fix the problem by writing his own and was soon recruited to the Documentation Team. He switched to Joomla as soon as the split occurred and was invited to join the Core Team in 2006.
