First of all, thank you all for accepting me as Celix committer. I’m
happy to be part of the community and will do my best to improve
Celix.

As for the introduction: I’m Dutch, married and blessed with 2
daughters. In my free time I like to spent time with my family, read
scifi/fantasy books, play boardgames and I should do more with sports
;)

During my study I focused on real-time systems and Linux kernel
programming. Ironically during the first years of my carrier I worked
mostly with Java, XML, XForm, XQuery and associated techniques.
Currently I am working at Thales Netherlands for a research project
targeted at dynamically (re) configurable real-time distributed
systems. Within this project we use a combination of Java and C.

A colleague first introduced me to OSGi when I was working for ASML
around 2008, although interested it wasn’t till last year I started to
use OSGi on the work floor.  I still remember a playful but powerful
introduction to OSGi potential for embedded systems at the NLJUG
conference in 2009 called “De leukste Bug!” by Marcel Offerman :)

I’m convinced the OSGi has a lot the offer, especially for the
embedded world (back to its roots) and therefore think Celix has a lot
of potential. Lastly I am happy the device access donation is accepted
and IMO it is a nice addition for Celix and its potential users.

Greetings,
Pepijn
