<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hi Plato-team,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Please allow me to introduce myself.
My name is Carit, i am from Denmark, currently employed at IBM, working
as a project manager. I hold a masters in engineering, with a major on
the topics of project scheduling software with respect to risks and uncertainties.
I have not been working with the theortical aspects of project management
for a couple of years I am a bit rusyt on that topic, but I as I have worked
with large enterprise projects over the last couple of years I consider
my view on the project management discipline to be more mature now than
at the time when I completed University.</font>
<p><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I have not been involved in coding activities
since late 1999, but my background is assembler/c/c++/java and various
other programming languages that no one knows about today. I did code my
own scheduling tool with a real-time monte carlo simulation engine back
then based on the WinAPI.</font>
<p><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Why I am writing? I guess because I have
a linux-installation at home, running KDE. First let me say that I am very
into the idea of linux, I believe that a operating systems should be GPL
(their might exceptions to that though), at least with public & home
users this should apply. Ok! my linux distro runs KDE. In general I like
the basic design concepts (the app.framework), I like the idea that it
is GPL (which eventually means I can change the bits and pieces I don't
like), and Iike that it is more than a window manager (incl. kwrite, kspread,
kpresenter, kplato etc.). </font>
<p><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I am not really sure if I can contribute
with anything to your project. I am motivated to contribute however possible
to the linux/KDE commuity. But I'll leave it to you, to decide that.</font>
<p>
<p><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Note. Though I work for IBM, any contributions
to the linux/KDE community will be something I do in my spare time, so
please use this e-mail adress for future communication: carit.benike@get2net.dk</font>
<p>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Kind regards (& I am glad if I can
help...)<br>
