Presenting at this meeting is Robert O'Callahan, a member of the Ximian desktop Linux group at Novell, responsible for Mozilla/Firefox browser development and the integration of Firefox into Novell's Linux desktop product.

Robert did his undergraduate study at the University of Auckland and has a PhD from Carnegie Mellon university. He has also previously worked at IBM Research. He made it known that he wanted a full time job working on Mozilla that he could do from New Zealand, and Novell hired him for their desktop team to work fulltime in Auckland on Mozilla improvements, including multi-column layout for web pages and improved SVG (scalable vector graphics) support.

Thanks to Douglas Harvey of the Systems & Technology Group at IBM New Zealand and Chris Penney of Novell for arranging this meeting. Beer and pizza will be provided compliments of Value Added Distributors, the principal distributor for IBM iSeries and pSeries equipment in New Zealand.
