Hi all,
My name is Simon Brouwer. For my profession, I develop electronics and
firmware for auto-ID equipment such as hand-held data collection
terminals. In my free time I have been active in OpenOffice.org since
2001 and have been project lead of the Dutch native-lang subproject
since its beginning in 2002.
My contributions include making Dutch spell checking available in OOo,
authoring most of nl.openoffice.org web content, coordinating the Dutch
OOo community, writing the "t9n tools" that greatly helped with the
translation of the online help to Dutch (and some other languages too),
and providing a number of Dutch builds for Windows until Hamburg took over.
Following up on the Dutch spell checking, I later co-founded the
OpenTaal project, which provides free Dutch linguistics resources that
are used in OpenOffice.org and many other open source projects.
I have some programming experience in C/C++ and Java and have built
OpenOffice.org from source under Windows and Linux.
Although I have been very busy at work and will be for the foreseeable
future, I hope to find some time to contribute to the continued success
of OpenOffice.org.
Best regards,
Simon Brouwer

By my count we have now have over 60 individuals listed on as proposed
committers for the Apache OpenOffice project. I think this is a
respectable start, though obviously the project will need to have a strong
commitment to recruiting additional developers and growing the project
further,
On the list are many names on the list familiar to me, some from the
OpenOffice.org community, some ODF experts, some involved in training and
certification, some in globalization, some from downstream projects,
commercial and open source, Symphony, RedOffice, EducOOo, even some TDF/LO
names.
There are also a lot of names that I do not recognize. This is good as
well. I may have need of some new friends soon ;-)
I think it would be good if the proposed committers who have not yet done
so, could post a quick note to the list, to introduce yourself and your
interest in this project. Think of this as an opportunity to introduce
yourself to your future collaborators on Apache OpenOffice.
Regards,
-Rob
