Introduction

Hi 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 I hope to do much more as my skill set increases.

A little bit about me: I'm 20, live in New Zealand and am currently in my third year of a 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.

Current Tasks

I will reduce my presence among the OOo projects I take part in for the next few months (Feb - May? 2009). As such, any activities listed here have been put on the back-burner.
