Feel free to harass him, make him tell you dirty words in russian, and |

make 'em do a bit of work in addition. |

Some background info provided from him- |
9 |
|
10 |
I am 30. I was born in Kiev, Ukraine, and now live in Moscow. |
11 |
Russian is my mother-tongue. I am married almost 12 years, and we live |
12 |
together with our beautiful 10-years-old daugher. |
13 |
|
14 |
I am spinning in a computer world over 20 years. Grew up with Amstrad |
15 |
and DEC MicroVAX, Atari, Commodore and Russian EC (IBM 360 clone). |
16 |
Then moved to PC and Mac, _but_ at that time completely missed Unix/Linux |
17 |
world as I had to lead some L10N projects then was CIO for the large |
18 |
non-IT company. Now I am the head of IT outsourcing department for |
19 |
Russian system integrator. |

|
21 |
Localization is rather my hobby together with the applied linguistics, |
22 |
usability and psychology. |

|
24 |
Since K. Arkhipov ([14]voxus@g.o) had installed Gentoo 2004.3 |
25 |
on my home desktop (it was a Christmas joke ;), I am in fact reviving |
26 |
the GDP Russian branch to promote Gentoo Linux to the Russians and to |
27 |
learn it myself while maintaining docs translation ;-) |
28 |

Everyone give Alexey a warm welcome. |
