Hi,

I'm Eike Rathke, I work as a software engineer for Sun Microsystems on the
OpenOffice.org and StarOffice application suite.

Since 1994 I work on the Calc spreadsheet application's core, mainly in
the area of formula compiler and interpreter. I'm the co-lead of the
OpenOffice.org spreadsheet project.

Since 2000 I'm also deeply involved with the OpenOffice.org / StarOffice
internationalization framework, partly arisen from the various needs of
the number formatter used in Calc and other applications, and I try to
coordinate the related work. Regarding the i18n part I'm also a co-lead
of the OpenOffice.org l10n project.

I'm looking forward to work with you on the upcoming spreadsheet formula
specification for OpenDocument; I hope that my experience will be of
value.

Regards
Eike
