| Emmanuel discovered Apache Directory Server 9 months ago, while |
| looking for alternatives to commercial LDAP directories and to the excellent |
| but non java-based OpenLDAP. He found this project very exciting and |
| promising and jumped on it. |

| <section name="Background"> |
| <p> |
| Emmanuel is living and working in Paris - France since 1988. |
| |
| Since then, he has been working on a X400 messaging system, where he first met with ASN.1. |
| He developped a meta-directory above X400 MHS and also got involved on |
| a variety of IT projects. He heard about Java in 1996, when it was just a |
| buzz, and waited until 2000 to cut his teeth on it. |

| Emmanuel is at the moment mostly involved in the Twix sub-project. Twix is |
| the third ASN.1 BER codec used by Apache Directory Server. Its goal is to be |
| a much faster codec than Snickers, and a first step toward a complete ASN.1 codec generator. |
| As with Snickers, it's a <b>non-blocking</b>, <b>event-driven</b> codec. |
| |
| Both Codecs are pluggable in ApacheDS simply by modifying the configuration file. |
| |
| Emmanuel has also started working on a LDAP proxy which is actually being developped actively by Jocelyn Dodin. |
