+ <p>
+ Jeff is one of the original members of the LDAPd group founded by
+ Alex Karasulu. He came into the Apache Software Foundation when it
+ absorbed the LDAPd source code and members.

+
+ <section name="Background">
+ <p>
+ Jeff had the good fortune of becoming associated with Alex Karasulu
+ at a pivotal time early in 2002. Alex had some frustrations with LDAP
+ due to deficiencies in all of the servers he used and was toying with
+ the idea of writing one. Jeff's initial role was simply to serve as a
+ sounding board for ideas. As time went on and he heard not only the
+ ideas but, the passion of Alex about this endeavor, Jeff eagerly
+ accepted Alex's invitation to become involved in the LDAPd project.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Jeff's primary focus on the project is the client side of LDAP. After a
+ struggle implementing Unix user authentication with other LDAP servers
+ and clients, he saw additional opportunity for improvement. The goal of
+ the client and LDAP common sub-project is to provide a set LDAP tools
+ to match the ease of use, flexibility and rich features of Eve.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Jeff's also worked closely with the Apache Infrastructure team,
+ especially Noel Bergman, to import the LDAPd CVS source code into
+ Subversion. The Apache Directory project was one of the first to
+ implement Subversion.
