Ric Shreves has been involved with the Internet since 1995. In 1999 he began
Dots&Loops, a Hong Kong-based web design agency which was one of the first
in the region focused on building custom content management systems. In 2001,
he joined Inetasia in Bangkok Thailand where in his role as the Director of
Product Development he led a programming team in the development of a
powerful proprietary content management system which is now used by a
number of enterprise clients in the region. While conducting research for the
proprietary CMS system, he discovered the Open Source CMS Mambo, and was
so impressed with the product and the Open Source movement’s potential to
shake up traditional proprietary software development business models he left
Inetasia to form Water & Stone, a web design house focused on Open Source
Content Management technologies.
He has built CMS-driven websites for a wide range of clients, including: BASF,
Colgate-Palmolive, CBRichard Ellis, FPDSavills, Tesco, Amari Hotels, and the
PGA, to name but a few.

years, and he contributes regularly to a number of regional and global
publications. From 2000 through 2002 he was a featured speaker at the Internet
