	<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>]]>

	<vision> <![CDATA[
<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>]]>
