Harald Welte is the chairman of the netfilter/iptables core team.
|
|
|
|
His main interest in computing has always been networking. In the few time
|
|
left besides netfilter/iptables related work, he's writing obscure documents
|
|
like the "UUCP over SSL HOWTO" or "A packet's journey through the Linux network
|
|
stack". Other kernel-related projects he has been contributing to are random
|
|
netowrking hacks, some device driver work and the neighbour cache.
|
|
|
|
He has been working as an independent IT Consultant working on projects for
|
|
various companies ranging from banks to manufacturers of networking gear.
|
|
During the year 2001 he was living in Curitiba (Brazil), where he got
|
|
sponsored for his Linux related work by Conectiva Inc.
|
|
|
|
Starting with February 2002, Harald has been contracted part-time by
|
|
Astaro AG, who are sponsoring him for his current netfilter/iptables work.
|
|
Aside from the Astaro sponsoring, he continues to work as a freelancing kernel
|
|
developer and network security consultant.
|
|
|
|
He licenses his software under the terms of the GNU GPL. Sometimes users of
|
|
his software are not compliant with the license, so he started enforcing the
|
|
GPL with his gpl-violations.org project.
|
|
|
|
During the last year, Harald has started development of a free, GPL-licensed
|
|
Linux RFID and electronic passport software suite.
|
|
|
|
Harald is living in Berlin, Germany.
