Real name: Mathias Bauer Born 16.12.1957 Married, 4 children Living in Hamburg, Germany Working for Sun Microsystems Inc. in Software Engineering (OpenOffice.org/StarOffice)
Doctor's degree (Dr. rer. nat) in Chemistry Software developer since ~25 years At the university I worked on magnetic properties of small sized particles and so entered the great world of software development:
- communication software for retrieval of data from spectrometers
- numerical analysis of Mössbauer spectra and other measurement data (non-linear curve fitting, genetic algorithms, numerical integration)
- graphical representation of measurement data
After finishing my studies I decided to stay in software development and joined URW, a German company that was famous for their premier quality fonts and graphical software. I worked on an application for commercial art called "Signus".
In 1995 I joined StarDivision and had the great pleasure to be a part of the team that created the first version of StarOffice. When Sun took over Star Division in 1999, I became a Sun employee. When the OpenOffice.org project was started I became the Project Lead of the Application Framework project. I was heavily involved in the development on the framework API and the extensions infrastructure we built upon it.
Then I got more and more involved with the Writer project and became its project lead in November 2006.
