Clear message

I, Bjoern Michaelsen, apply for upload rights for package(s) LibreOffice.

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.
