GSoC Mentor - Steven J. Hathaway

Here is a brief summary of my background.

I am an Old-Timer, over 40 years in the industry after graduating from
Oregon State University in 1970 in Electrical Engineering and
Computer Science.

I have programed most computer architectures and many communications
systems products. This includes analog computers, digital and hybrid
computers, vacuum-tube computers, super computers, communications
controllers, microcomputers, PC's, etc.

I have done kernel, device driver, microcode, communications, and
applications programming.  This included writing a TCP/IP kernel
stack into the DEC TOPS-20 operating system, and reworking circuit
boards to communicate with HyperChannel network hardware.

I was a technical writer and editor for 14 years at Tektronix.
I also designed document production tools to support a staff of writers
and interfaces to typesetting equipment.

I managed a project for Tektronix that required removing three
mainframes from service, ensuring that all corporate, engineering,
marketing, manufacturing, and other services were supportable on
replacement equipment and systems.  The project was successful.

I helped prove the correctness of the Pascal programming language
when it was a draft specification.  I also designed data-type aware
memory management for a Pascal compiler design, complete with
pseudo-code intermediate processing for a variety of target hardware.
This was a Pascal compiler with cross-platform capability.

I designed integrated communications systems that used as transports
DECNET, UUCP, Dial-Up, Kermit, Internet, SMB, and other protocols.
I managed the procurement and testing of telephone company and microwave
data services for public safety networks in the State of Oregon, USA.

I have contributed to APCO/NENA organizations that set the standards for
telephone systems and PSAP (911) emergency services in North America.

I design and maintain secure message queing networks on a varity of 
platforms.
The XALAN-C product is used as the basis for XML transformations.  Most of
these message queueing platforms use the C/C++ programming languages.

I am consulted regularly when Federal Government projects wish to use
XML for rendering data to be transported between different systems.
I also work with OSI ASN.1 based network communications.  I understand
network and data infrastructure security issues.

For Apache Software Foundation, I am maintaining the documentation for the
Xalan projects and preparing for a new release of XALAN-C.  I continue
to maintain and improve the XALAN-C code base for proof-of-correctness.

I have been a leader in Boy Scouts for 26 years.

Sincerely,
Steven J. Hathaway
