Hi all,
I'd like to introduce myself, too. I'm Takamichi Akiyama from Japan.
I transferred to Sun Microsystems in 1999 with 8 year work experience in
telephone exchange system. In Sun I was in charge of StarOffice development
from 2000 to 2003 with colleges in Beijing, Seoul, India, California,
not to
mention, people in Hamburg. My area was especially for North East Asian
culture
such as vertical writing, grid layout, i18n, l10n, as well as quality
assurance,
translating documents, UI, and online help.
Because of focusing on Asian culture and being a UNIX lover from SunOS,
I am
highly interested in sw, sc, vcl, sal, i18npool, and relevant modules
such as
svx, sfx2, tools, framework, ... and am eager to help system-wide
performance
improvement with OpenOffice.org.
I use C, C++, Perl, Ruby, XSLT, PHP, JavaScript, OpenOffice.org BASIC, ...
As you might notice, I am not very familiar with Windows, though.
After quitting Sun, I moved to Berkeley, California in the US to learn
English,
met people there, and started Capoeira, Brazilian martial arts, as my
life-time
activity.
With invaluable treasures from the US, I came back to Japan and started
my own
business as self-employed to technically support OpenOffice.org users by
providing
patches for their special needs and/or bugs. Through such efforts I have
been
successfully contributing to the OpenOffice.org project for nearly decade.
Best regards,
Tora
