Sure. Hi everyone (maybe the people that Rob knows should introduce themselves as well - some of us are new to the community.)
My name is David Fisher. I have been in the software industry for over 30 years. I've worked in many computer languages - FORTRAN, PL/1, C, C++, Postscript, Java, Basic, etc., etc. I wrote a PDF producer in C++ in the early 90's. At my direction as a project manager we developed the ability to produce PowerPoint output using Apache POI. This was contributed back to the project and this started my involvement with the ASF. I am very interested in the synergies and advantages to the OOo community that full cross compatibility with Microsoft Office documents could provide - particularly with workbooks. I look forward to working with the ODF Toolkit. I also would like to see what I can do to help with fonts, EPS, PDF and print files. The ASF has sponsored several projects which have become essential tools at work - Tomcat, Lucene and POI especially. I am speaking as individual and not for my corporate employer (not a software company.) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
