Each entry can be checked at the linked page or in its commit and revision history. How to read it: the date is the date of the linked contribution, an e-mail, a post, a commit or a register entry, not the day it was added here. Profiles carry the day the account was created or, where the network does not show it, the start of the position they list. The sections follow the stages of his work, from the company founded in 2026 back to the first IPCop add-ons in 2003. Links to his own profiles and to the company hub carry `rel="me"`; every other link points to a page on another host.

## 2026 · Nokkela-IT-Concept GmbH

Nokkela-IT-Concept GmbH is the company Daniel Plominski co-founded in 2026 and runs as managing director: entered in the commercial register at Amtsgericht Coburg under HRB 7780 on 15 July 2026, registered office Kronach, Germany. The company hub and the nine specialised sites went live in August 2026; the GitHub organisations received their current profiles on 9 August 2026.

The register entries carry the date of the entry. The websites are listed under August 2026, the month they went live, a date the pages themselves do not show; each carries only its own “Last updated” line.
