There are many people behind the Apache Friends Project. Even
though Kay and I started on our own, it soon became very
apparent we were not able to handle all the work alone. Answering
all the questions in the forum was especially difficult to do
without further help.
Over the months and years that followed, some users very kindly
formed into a small team that helped us. With their support
Apache Friends has grown to what it is today.
Oswald is the webmaster, forum admin, and amateur designer of the Apache Friends project.
Additionally he is the maintainer of XAMPP for Linux and Solaris. He's also responsible for the ReleaseGuess project but since you're on the English section of this site you don't know about it, because it is only available in German. Together with Kay he founded the Apache Friends project in 2002.
On the right you see a very early photography of him.
Currently Oswald works as Web Tier Evangelist Senior Engineer at Sun Microsystems and
below you will find the last few blog entries from Oswald's Blog at Sun.com:
