Great introduction, roelandp and welcome to the BitShares community.
It's a perfect timing to get yourself acquainted with the tech.

Would you be open to help organize a BitShares-dedicated event in Munich sometime?

That would be awesome @roelandp did a fantastic job with steemfest, Munich is the perfect location too.
roelandp witness already has my vote.

Dear Bitshares community! Some of you have already voted my witness roelandp, thank you! In this topic I will introduce myself, my witness server portfolio and what I intend to add to the Bitshares community.

Who am I?
My name is RoelandP from Amsterdam. I am a developer of (mostly) mobile apps and in the crypto world I have been very active on Steemit by launching several Steem related apps as well as an app overview site called SteemTools. Since about 2003 I make a living by making sites & apps and some photoshopping / designing for my  parents' pancake restaurant on the side :)

I have studied Hotelschool in The Hague and made my first homepage in 1996 after which I got hooked on coding and learned it through the internets. Next to coding I love to kitesurf and I am since 1 year a dad of our son, who is slowly learning to sleep during the nights and together with my gf we run a small Poop Emoji webshop.

After my study I have worked at several festivals and organised some hackathons like Music Hackday Amsterdam. Last year I organised SteemFest in Amsterdam, which was a blast!

I've been running as an active witness for Steem & Golos for a while now and have been supporting the Bitshares network since late September last year with a dedicated server public seednode on seed.roelandp.nl:1776 (listed on @wackou's seednode statuspage and hardcoded in the bitshares sourcecode)

My current server portfolio setup for Bitshares is as follows:

• Type: Dedicated
• Processor: Intel Xeon D-1521
• Cores: 4
• Ram: 32 GB DDR4
• HDD: 2 x 2 TB

• Location: Canada

Witness signing server:

• Type: Dedicated
• Processor: Intel i7-6700
• Cores: 4
• Ram: 64 GB DDR4
• HDD: 2 x 250 GB SSD
• Connection: 1 Gbit/s
• Location: Germany

Backup witness signing server:

• Type: Dedicated
• Processor: Intel Xeon D-1531
• Cores: 6
• Ram: 32 GB DDR4
• HDD: 2 x 250 GB SSD
• Connection: 300 Mbit/s
• Location: France

Backup Seed:

• Type: Dedicated
• Processor: Intel i7-6700
• Cores: 4
• Ram: 64 GB DDR4
• HDD: 2 x 250 GB SSD
• Connection: 1 Gbit/s
• Location: Germany

Public Websocket node - btsws.roelandp.nl/ws:

• Type: Dedicated
• Processor: Intel i7-6700
• Cores: 4
• Ram: 64 GB DDR4
• HDD: 2 x 500 GB SSD
• Connection: 1 Gbit/s
• Location: Finland

Test VPS's readily available:

• Location: Netherlands (Amsterdam, Transip.nl)
• Location: USA (Chicago, Rackspace.com)
• Location: UK (London, Atlantic.net)

Additional Backup VPS's (if needed) can be setup through my Google Cloud and Amazon Webservices accounts on which I have run the graphene software before.

I have been experimenting with the pricefeed software from @xeroc and together with @iHashFury I setup the Altcap.XDR which we are both publishing every other half an hour. I am ready to fire the "regular" pricefeed updates.

What value can I add to the Bitshares community?

• Thrustworthy witness with reliable infrastructure. I have missed 5 blocks on Steem and 1 on Golos in half a year of active signing.
• Fresh blood!
• Coding experience: PHP, javascript, python, mysql. Helped out @fav with a referral code script and @iHashFury with code reviewing the Altcap.XDR script. I've made available on my Github a Steem Witness Monitoring script and a Golos Pricefeed script
• Creativity, see a sample of my Steem Apps by visiting SteemTools.com and search for 'roelandp'.
• Event experience: As said, I organised SteemFest in Amsterdam last year with the support of many and about 200 attendees, which was a blast! Would love to set something like this up for Bitshares (or a combo) one (not to far in the future) day!
• Promote Bitshares: (don't we all :D). Past 6 months I was invited and I have presented Steem on 2 (non crypto) events in presentation slots and panel discussion. For future talks I will incorporate more time for Bitshares when invited. Additionally I am working on a UIA which I reveal soon and think it can trigger some nice promotion for Bitshares!
