Nils and Mikael

2004-06-20

Working with Mikael Snaprud and Nils Ulltveit-Moe on guadec-planning has been a pleasure. These are the guys who are responsible for bringing GUADEC to Norway.

Mikael lives in Lillesand, a little wooden village on the Norwegian south coast that was a timber port in the early 17th century. In addition to coordinating the local GVADEC committee since December, he teaches at ICT (Centre for Information and Communication Techonology) at Agder University College where he is part of an Information Society research group.

Nils lives on a farm in Norway and his neighbor raises championship horses. He has invented a Linux based CNC mill, concrete loudspeakers and wooden puzzles. In addition to doing software development for companies like Ericsson, he also teaches at Høgskolen i Agder.

Nils and Mikael are developing the European Internet Accessibility Observatory (EIAO) project for the the European Commission. There will be an eXpo poster about the project at GUADEC.
