Directly on Ubuntu I helped getting the transition from OpenOffice.org to LibreOffice done on the Natty release. I also helped working on the lo-menubar integrating LibreOffice into Unity, and started connecting the design teams of Ubuntu and LibreOffice. | Directly on Ubuntu I worked on getting the transition from OpenOffice.org to LibreOffice done on the Natty release.

== Martin Pitt == I have been mentoring Bjoern since he joined Ubuntu development in February, and have uploaded most (all?) of his OO.o/LibO uploads since then.

He also managed to fix nontrivial bugs in the supporting packages around LibO, such as spell checkers, hyphenation, etc. I trust him to upload `libreoffice` and `-l10n` himself now, and to ask about new scenarious/problems he does not know about yet.

Who I am
I was working as a fulltime developer on OpenOffice.org since 2008 for Sun/Oracle in the writer framework team. Since February 2011, I am working at Canonical and take part in LibreOffice development.
My Ubuntu story
As a firm believer in open source, I want to strengthen the position of LibreOffice on the Linux desktop. Ubuntu is simply the best general propose linux desktop available right now and I am excited to be part of that. I have been a Linux user since 2002 mostly on gentoo and Ubuntu.
My involvement
Examples of my work / Things I'm proud of
Back at Oracle I reworked the build system of OpenOffice.org. The new build system is now basically finished, but still code must be migrated to the new build system. The new build system removes a lot of old cruft and simplifies things like porting to new platforms. LibreOffice is using the new build system and we are profiting greatly from its use.
Directly on Ubuntu I worked on getting the transition from OpenOffice.org to LibreOffice done on the Natty release. I also helped working on the lo-menubar integrating LibreOffice into Unity, and started connecting the design teams of Ubuntu and LibreOffice.
