Although, as he explained, back then it was a bit more like experimenting than actually using. Alex began submitting patches a few years ago, primarily related to low-level graphics. Alex is a custom programmer and engineering consultant but in his spare time enjoys music and running. || ||Location: Austin, Texas (GMT-6) || ||IRC Nick: ajptx || ||Contact: ajp -at- mail dot utexas dot edu || ||<rowstyle="border-style: solid none none; border-color: gray;"style="text-align: center;" |4> AlexanderSørnes || Alexander has been involved with Wine since 2005.

Although he enforces strict control over the official source tree (thus ensuring that every change must pass his scrutiny), nobody questions his abilities as the project leader, his commitment to quality, and his dedication to the Wine project; many 'disadvantageous' patches have been avoided by his strict quality control. || ||Location: Lausanne, Switzerland (GMT+1) || ||IRC Nick: julliard || ||Contact: julliard -at- winehq dot org || ||<rowstyle="border-style: solid none none; border-color: gray;"style="text-align: center;" |4> Andreas Mohr || Andreas was born in Karlsruhe, Germany in 1977 and grew up in Renningen, near Stuttgart. He did the usual military service after high school and in 1997 began studying electrical engineering at Stuttgart University. Now he's attending the University of Applied Sciences in Esslingen studying computer science. Besides the normal CS classes Andreas is focusing on embedded systems, automation, and networking.BRBRMost recently Andreas worked on the wineboot utility responsible for performing startup tasks required by applications. In the past he's been responsible for work in many different areas including documentation, installer support, and memory management.BRBR Interview: #6 || ||Location: Esslingen, Germany (GMT+1) || ||IRC Nick: andim || ||Contact: MailTo(andi AT SPAMFREE rhlx01 DOT fht-esslingen DOT de) || ||<rowstyle="border-style: solid none none; border-color: gray;"style="text-align: center;" |4> AndrewRiedi || Andrew mostly works cursor support. || ||Location: ?

Jeremy White likes to parade him around as the only Wine hacker that CodeWeavers has been able to grow from scratch, which is true. Working for CodeWeavers since his graduation from college he started working on Wine because of his employment at CodeWeavers. He has done a lot of random bug fixes and work on windows tablets for CodeWeavers, but really found his own area when he tried to use some of his Japanese programs on Wine and worked hard to get XIM and IMM32 to play nice together. When he is not hacking on Wine or answering customer support tickets, Aric studies martial arts, tries to keep his Japanese language skills from fading, watches Japanese animation, runs role playing games and LARPs, makes jewelry, hangs with friends or is out wandering around one of the lakes in town. || ||Location: Minneapolis, Minnesota (GMT-6) || ||IRC Nick: aricstewart || ||Contact: aric -at- codeweavers dot com || ||<rowstyle="border-style: solid none none; border-color: gray;"style="text-align: center;" |4> AustinEnglish || Austin does a lot of work in Bugzilla and the AppDB, as well as testing Wine portability.
