More info: "I first learned about JAlbum roughly over 2 years ago (sometime mid 2004), and been using it actively since. The community is great and just kept me giving back, no kidding it is positively addictive. Skin Aeneid, I'm developing (originally based on BluPlusPlus from Armond Avanes) was first for my use, but decided to share that one as well. About things that I grow under my skin: windsurfing, scuba diving, snowboarding, free-climbing, photography, philately, and last but not least my dog Beba ;) /Roni"

More info: "Career: Tech Consultant. Hobbies include: music, web design, browsing (heavy internet user!) I love classic movies! Just like everyone else, visited JAlbum site when I wanted to create an album for myself and the more I spent time on it, the more I liked it and inspired by the way the templates can be customized. Guess what? Started creating my own skins and to be frank it's the users community behind my continuous effort on my skin development. JAlbum Forum: great place to hang out :) Good luck with your new skin! /Dhina"

More info: "I like to discover beautiful landscapes, to make photos of them and even after years to remember where I shot my photos for being able to turn back there.

For my purposes I've created the skin "PositionMap" which is becoming more and more feature rich thanks to many ideas from JAlbum's great community."

Profile: Anders Engblom
More info: "I first came in contact with JAlbum when I got my first digital camera. I needed something that would take the labor out of creating photo albums and JAlbum fit the bill. Then there was the matter of finding the right skin - preferably something with an user interface that my father already knew - hence the XP skin. After I had created a few more skins it became clear that we needed a central place to share our skins and as David had his hands full with maintaining the actual JAlbum application, I put together the JRepository.When I'm not in front of the computer (it's both my job and my hobby) I spend my time with my wife Marina and our dog Gibson. I am also a hobby musician, playing both the piano and the guitar. Right now my heart is set on mastering the jazz piano - with very mixed results I might add..."

More info: "By day I am a Veterinarian but at other times I am a Mac Consultant, Web Designer, photographer and now a Jalbum Skin developer. I am interested in AJAX and I really like incorporating different javascript libraries into Jalbum. I hope I can actually learn how to do more scripting in Jalbum so I can expand my skins. I enjoy running, swimming, playing music and I am a single parent to two teenage girls. Oh, did I say I love Macs? ( since 1984)."

Started sailboarding in 1980 until my trusty old Windsurfer began to disintegrate from too much UV after 18 years. Now trying to master the art of kitesurfing, but might have to go back to windsurfing if I can't crack the code pretty soon."

More info: "I started translating Jalbum back in 2003 when I was looking for a software to publish the pics of my exchange year in Germany. JAlbum was by far the best tool I found, and what's best, for free! So, as everybody knows, the more people help, the better it gets!"

Website: http://www.f-schuerer.de
More info: "In 2002 I had to find a way to organize about 1000 photos on a CD for easy presentation. I found JAlbum was a great program that could offer a range of flexibility that is not limited to some predefined templates. At that time the Help of JAlbum was only in English language and I thought it would be great when German speaking people, who aren't fluent in English could use this free program and create their own photo albums easily. So I translated the help files to German and later the JAlbum texts as well when a new update came out. My hobbies and my profession include developing software in C/C++, Java or Delphi and occasionally creating web pages."

Returning from a skiing trip in 2002, founder David Ekholm intended to share his newly taken pictures with his friends. David started to look for photo album software and tried out what the market had to offer. After numerous disappointments with various album clients, being a programmer, he decided to take matters into his own hands...
With Jalbum you have full control of the look of the generated album, not just the color theme and basic layout. Making an album is still just a simple matter of drag and drop, plus a button click if you prefer to use one of the many existing looks. Jalbum will process your images, make index pages, create slide show pages and even upload the final album to the Internet for your friends to see. Jalbum runs on all platforms and speaks 30 languages.
Today, Jalbum is one of the world's most popular clients for producing web photo albums. The software has been used to publish more than six million albums and the client is downloaded more than two thousand times per day. The variety of album skins and the possibility to personalize the presentation makes Jalbum extremely flexible. Jalbum has an active community that contributes to the development of the skins, plugins and language options.
