Bjoern Michaelsen is a currently employed by Canoncial Ltd. and is responsible for the packaging for LibreOffice on Ubuntu. He joined the company and LibreOffice development in February 2011, coming from Oracle (and before that Sun), where he was working on the same codebase for a few years in the Writer/Framework area. Starting at OpenOffice.org and finishing it at LibreOffice, Bjoern lead the cleanup and simplification of the build system for LibreOffice from its historic baggage. Having seen both sides of the fork -- from inside the cathedral-cultured forked project and the early days of the bazaar-cultured forking project -- gives him unique insight in what works and what might not work so well in such a scenario.
