Here goes... Laurent Bossavit I've been working in entertainment software of various kinds for the last five years, from a game for the Macintosh to multimedia CD products, variously as a freelance programmer, full-time employee, and project manager. Currenly a partner and CTO in NetDIVE, a start-up dedicated to Java software for the business and entertainment markets. One of my motivations in hooking up with this list and this team is to "get in on the ground floor" of what I consider as a key part of our future business strategy - if the notion of a Java OS is successful, it will mean a lot to the software industry, possibly mean the end of Microsoft's hegemony. I'm familiar with Pascal, C, C++ and Java; GUI development, a bit of client-server - and little bit of many other things. I wrote games, a morphing program, a Java chat system, worked on an authoring system for games and multimedia apps called Click'n'Create, among other things. No particular experience in OS design, but a lot of experience with OS shortcomings as a regular Windows user. :) I responded to Markus' call for volunteers to help on the Kaffe port, as I'm going to tweak the Kaffe code for my own ends anyway in the near future (I'm working on a native Windows port), but I'm also interested on anything from the architecture of the OS to the user interface. -[Morendil]--------[Check out Club Chat : http://www.clubchat.com/ ]- -[Chat enable your Web site with CUChat at http://www.netdive.com/ ]- On a clear disk you can seek forever
