Introduction

Hello everyone,

My name is Ivan, and I am (or try to be) an active member of the OpenOffice.org Art and Website projects. The biggest contribution I have made to OOo so far has been as the lead designer of the OOo website during the 2007 redesign and the Project Renaissance logo, and I hope to do much more in the future as my skill set increases.

A little bit about me: I'm 20, live in New Zealand and will soon be starting the final year of my BA/BSc conjoint majoring in Computer Science & Psychology under Science; Sociology & English under Arts. I also have a website, where I ramble too much but not often enough.
