Andreas Mantke
Born in 1959, I'm working for a social insurance institution in Germany. Since autumn 2002 I support LibreOffice and it's antecessor. Currently I'm a deputy member of the Board of Directors at The Document Foundation and working on admin tasks for LibreOffice and The Document Foundation, especially on Plone related tasks.
I work for LibreOffice and it's antecessor since autumn 2002 in my spare time. I started my work inside the Germanophone project and wrote some howtos/documentation about the office program, e.g. the module Impress and the PDF export. I wrote a book about the program modules Impress and Draw together with Stefan Koehler and I'm one of the founders of Freies Office Deutschland e.V. Since the announcement of The Document Foundation and of LibreOffice in September 2010 I'm working for LibreOffice and the foundation. Currently I'm involved in several admin tasks for the Document Foundation around the CMS Plone. I work on the adminstration of the ODFAuthors.org site and createdthe new LibreOffice extensions and templates site, running on a Plone CMS, last year. I set up also the LibreOffice conference site and developed a special add-on for the managment of a conference. Currently I'm a deputy member of the board of The Document Foundation and therefore involved in the administration of the foundation.
