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

| 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>MicroDoc is a software consultancy and product development business founded in 1991 by Hendrik Hofer 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.</p> |
| <p>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.</p> |
| <p>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> |
