Who We Are

Philipp Kewisch, Lead Developer (mozi...@kewis.ch)
Philipp initially found interest in the project during one of many QA testdays. That not being enough he looked for a way to contribute code to the project. Preferring to work with back-end code, he started working with the Google Calendar API seeking to integrate it with the calendar project. In 2009 he was appointed as the Calendar Project lead and is now employed at Mozilla. In his remaining time he studies computer science at the University of Applied Science in Wedel, Germany.
Matthew Mecca, Developer (matt...@gmail.com)
Matt works mainly on task management features and other front-end code fixes. He got involved with the project to add support for repeating tasks and other productivity enhancements. He currently works in Business Management and Information Technology.
Mohit Kanwal, Developer (mohi...@gmail.com)
Mohit got involved with the Mozilla Calendar Project as part of Google Summer of Code 2011 where he worked to get the offline mode implemented. Soon he was offered to squash more bugs and was gradually pulled into the Calendar Drivers team by Philipp. Mohit is a computer science undergraduate at the National University of Singapore specializing in security and software engineering.
Merike Sell, QA Engineer (meri...@gmail.com)
Merike started out as Calendar localizer for Estonian. Working in QA and being familiar with Selenium tests she took the opportunity to write automated Mozmill tests for Calendar as proposed in the list of ideas for Google Summer of Code projects. She also studies Computer Science at Tallinn University of Technology.
Tobias Markus, Website Owner (tob...@mozilla-uk.org)
Tobias Markus is located in Germany and a regular contributor to the Mozilla Support, QA and WebQA projects. Above that, he's leading the Mozilla UK community website and, of course, the calendar website. Tobias is currently studying Computer Science at a university. He's the guy for everything website related and tries to improve the project pages and keep them up-to-date.
Tom Ellins, Website peer (tmz...@mozilla-uk.org)
Tom Ellins is a long time contributor to Mozilla support and web quality assurance. He has recently been expanding his knowledge to both Mozilla community sites and mozilla.org, all while studying systems support and networking at college. TMZ will be helping update and review patches for the Calendar website.
Jan Bambach, Website contributor (jan....@hotmail.de)
Jan is a Mozilla contributor from Germany. He first started with Firefox Live Chat and then discovered lots of new places to help - one of them is the calendar website. He's a Student Rep and helping Tobias with the calendar website.

Dormant

These contributors are still watching the project, but lately haven't had enough free time left to do active contributions.

Martin Schroeder, QA Team Lead and Developer (msch...@mozilla.x-home.org)
Martin coordinates the Calendar QA effort, organizes test days, triages bug reports, and hopes to introduce more automated testing in the future. When he finds time, he also tries to fix some bugs. Martin got involved because he wanted to contribute to a Mozilla project, and the Calendar project was an easy entry where he could participate in test days and fix small bugs. At the moment, he is finishing his Computer Science studies at the University of Wuerzburg in Germany.
Markus Adrario, Developer (Mozi...@Adrario.de)
Markus started programming for the calendar project in 2007 when he was annoyed by some nits in the views and tried to fix it. With programming being a hobby he tries to spare some time between his job and family to help the calendar project. Main focus of his work is the front end.

Emeritus

Mike Potter, Former project leader (mike...@yahoo.com)
As the first Project Manager for the Mozilla Calendar project, Mike initiated the opening of source code from OEone, created the initial web pages and source code locations, helped organize developers to help fix bugs and managed releases of the software. Mike is currently employed by Adobe Systems Inc. as Program Manager.
Mostafa Hosseini, Former project leader (most...@axentra.com)
Mostafa took over as project lead after Mike Potter left the project. He introduced Sunbird, the standalone calendar application shortly after Firefox and Thunderbird had taken off. Mostafa currently works at Axentra (formerly OEone) which is the company which donated the Calendar code base to Mozilla.
Dan Mosedale, Former Lead Developer (dmo...@mozilla.org)
Dan took over as lead developer, when Mostafa resigned. Having been part of mozilla.org since its inception, Dan has been involved in many different areas, including coding, toolsmithing, processes, and community-building. These days he works at Mozilla Messaging on improving Mozilla Thunderbird.
Mark Carson, Graphic Artist (Mar...@MarkCarson.com)
Mark designed the Sunbird logo and along with Chris Cook (and a lot of community input) created the default theme for Sunbird. His follow-on effort was a theme for Thunderbird called "Winstripe Unofficial" where he collaborated with Scratch to make a Thunderbird skin to complement the default Firefox theme. He is currently designated as the responsible party for Sunbird graphics (logo, icons, etc.).

His "day job" has very little to do with graphics. Outside of making an odd logo or some icons for business or personal projects, he works as a software engineering consultant and develops web-based applications. He has lived in Hawaii for over a quarter of a century and has been paid to do what he loves (coding, of course) for over 15 years.
Bruno Browning, Developer (brow...@uwalumni.com)
Bruno primarily focused on CalDAV and related areas. Timezones make his head hurt, so he makes every effort to leave those to other. His interest stems from years of (sometimes spectacularly) unsuccessful attempts to juggle incompatible calendaring systems. His day job at the University of Wisconsin-Madison involves a wide variety of things, mostly having to do with technology and/or foreign languages.
Daniel Boelzle, Developer (mozi...@boelzle.org)
Daniel mainly focused on back-end work (libical, RFC2445 conformity, remote protocols and the like). He got involved into the project implementing the Sun Calendar Server support. Daniel is a long term developer on OpenOffice.org and thinks Sunbird/Lightning is the best completion to a full Open Source office suite. At the time, he was employed by Sun Microsystems.
Simon Paquet, Website/Localization coordinator (bugz...@babylonsounds.com)
Simon was responsible for most of areas in the project that aren't directly code-related. He maintained the project website and acted as the liaison to the localization (l10n) community. He has also written a good amount of posts on Calendar development blog, including status updates and release announcements. He has also contributed some patches, but since he really can't code, his contributions to the codebase are small and mostly trivial. He became involved with the project when Sunbird was announced back in 2003. Before that he was a major contributor to the Firefox QA team. In his real life Simon works as a management consultant in Germany.
