| <p>Eclipse is an intrinsic element of MicroDoc's technology portfolio. The |
| unique combination of technical flexibility and economical promises of |
| a commercially usable open source platform made Hans Kamutzki decide to |
| have his developers deep dive into Eclipse as early as 2002. Since then |
| MicroDoc is closely following the path of Eclipse technology. As head of |
| the embedded Java operations within MicroDoc, Hans is actively promoting |
| the eRCP (embedded Rich Client Platform) in customer projects and internal |
| product development. </p>]]> |

| <p>My vision as a candidate for the Eclipse Board is: |
| - Support the growth of the Eclipse EcoSystem as a pervasive industrial strength |
| software platform for servers, clients and mobile/embedded devices. |
| - Help to establish Eclipse in research and education to make sure graduates |
| can seamlessly be integrated into industrial SW production. |
| - Strengthen the influence of European members in the community |
| - Address legal issues in the framework of European legislation raised by the |
| fact that EPL and other important provision are US law based. |
| - Help to develop a clear understanding of the legal/commercial implications |
| of the use of software under the EPL in Europe.</p>]]> |

| <p>Hans Kamutzki is co-founder and Managing Director of MicroDoc, Munich. He |
| studied Physics and Computer Science in Bonn and Munich, Germany and |
| focussed on realtime image processing and process control in the early |
| days of his professional work. For a "device and algorithm for the automatic |
| detection of objects" he was co-awarded a German and European patent. After |
| many years of development and project management practice in Smalltalk and |
| Java, Hans now runs the Embedded Java operations in MicroDoc, working mainly in |
| business development and legal/contractual matters.</p> ]]> |

| <p>MicroDoc is a software consultancy and product development business founded in |
| 1991 by Hendrik Hoefer and Hans Kamutzki. In the 90, MicroDoc's focus was on |
| object oriented programming with Smalltalk. Hans Kamutzki was a main contributor |
| to a MicroDoc product called "Object for Notes", a technical Smalltalk to Lotus |
| Notes gateway, that was licensed to IBM in 1995. He worked as a technical and |
| operational liaison between MicroDoc and IBM and spent several month with |
| integration work in the RTP labs in Raleigh, NC and on other lab engagements. Even |
| before Java became a mainstream, MicroDoc invested in this technology and provided |
| a number of product components to the international market of reusable |
| components. Among these products are Java based persistence frameworks, |
| an EJB persistency container and a variety of migration and quality assurance |
| tools as well as some contributions to IBM's VisualAge for Java product. MicroDoc's |
| work with Eclipse started in 2002 with an IDE migration project for a large |
| airline. Eclipse has become a universal tool within MicroDoc since then. Eclipse is |
| used as a development platform, but also heavily as a runtime environment for RCP |
| and eRCP clients and server applications. As MicroDoc is building end to end |
| solutions (starting on the mainframe and scaling down to mobile and |
| embedded devices) the Eclipse RCP/eRCP platforms are essential building |
| blocks for harmonizing the architecture in many MicroDoc projects today. As a |
| Managing Directory, Hans is in charge for the embedded Java business as well |
| as legal and contractual matters within MicroDoc today.</p>]]> |
