Hello,
My name is Eric Bachard. In the real life, I'm Professor of Applied
Physics at UTBM (see [1]).
In my spare time, I'm contributing to free software, as core
developer. Contributing to OpenOffice.org since 2004, my skills are C
++ / C, objective C, shell and Perl. I know well OpenOffice.org
source tree, build system, code too, and can work for all major ports
(Windows, Mac OS X , Linux), including on some precise parts like the
framework, the abstraction layer, Impress too.
Used to mentor students with EducOOo (more than 15), and with Google
Summer of Code (mentored 4 students, in 2006, 2007 and 2010 for it),
I am willing to contribute to the code and train students to OOo.
My vision is to see the OpenOffice.org accepted, Education Project
become sort of a "Laboratory" dedicated to OpenOffice.org, and see a
day there is a real bridge between OpenOffice.org and the Educational
world. Mostly :
- sharing the knowledge, honestly ;
- working with students, teachers and schools : hear them, and catch
the Fun they can bring us ;
- attracting new developers : critical for OOo ;
- innovating : always ready to test a new idea in the code :-).
Some of my roles and contributions :
- Founding member of EducOOo [4]
- OOo4Kids and OOoLight main developer [5] [6]
- Education Project since 2007 (current Project Lead) [3]
- Mac OS X native port of OpenOffice.org : was the Project Lead
(2005 -2007)
Last but not least, I'm not a native speaker, so please, be gentle,
and apologies for my terrible english :)
With best regards,
Eric Bachard

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
