Introducing a new XLIFF TC member...

[Tony Jewtushenko <Tony.Jewtushenko@oracle.com>]

I'm very pleased to announce a new prospective member has joined the XLIFF TC:  Paul Gampe -- Director of Engineering - Asia Pacific.  A few words to introduce you to Paul and his background:

As Director of Engineering for Red Hat Asia-Pacific, Paul Gampe manages the development and software localization teams that deliver native language products and services for Red Hat. Paul has managed the engineering team that, over the last few years, has added Japanese, Korean, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese and Brazillian Portuguese language support to Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Prior to Red Hat, Gampe served as tech operations manager for APNIC, one of the three worldwide registries that govern the distribution of Internet resources (such as IP addresses). As tech operations manager, Gampe oversaw the redeployment and expansion of the Asia-wide registry infrastructure. Gampe joined APNIC in 1997 after serving as General Manager of TWICS, the first public ISP based in Japan. Gampe is Vice-Chair of the Open Internationalization Steering Committee (http://www.openi18n.org), prior chair of the special interest group on DNS for APNIC (http://www.apnic.net). Gampe received his Bachelor of Information Technology degree from the University of Queensland and holds a diploma of audio engineering from SAE

Red Hat, the world's leading open source and Linux provider, is headquartered  in Raleigh, NC with satellite offices spanning the globe. Red Hat is leading Linux and open source solutions into the mainstream by making high quality, low cost technology accessible.

I'm delighted the XLIFF TC will benefit of Paul's extensive expertise in order to define and address the challenges involved with localising Open Source software and related content.  Open Source is an important market segment that we've had little contact with to date,  but one that has the potential to dramatically expand XLIFF's visibility and adoption throughout the entire industry.

Please join me in welcoming Paul to the XLIFF TC.

Regards,
Tony
