In this developer interview we talk someone who started with helping out other developers by translating comments in the code from German to English.

“Translating of comments brings me across different parts of the code, so I get a feeling for LibreOffice.”

LibreOffice can only exist since people are working on it: so please ! tell us a bit about yourself.

In what other software projects have you been involved ?

None, this is my first project.

What do you do when you’re not working on LibreOffice ?

I’m working in the field of medical image processing (part time), bring my four daughters up,
play volleyball / coach volleyball girls, play flute, read, cook …

Again a new story in our series of developer interviews.
We started this serie to show how others got involved, and have choosen the work they like to contribute to LibreOffice.
In this inteview someone who is, in his own words, a normal guy, and doesn’t expect that users will experience much improvements from his contributions. Yet his work builds bridges between communities. So sooner rather than later, users will benefit…

Programming is about people: so please ! tell us a bit about yourself:

I am Robert Nagy (rnagy on IRC) and I am just a 24 year old regular everyday normal guy living in Budapest, Hungary with my lovely girlfriend Zsofia and our dog Kiki.

Any chance you can remember what was your very first program ?

I don’t really remember but it was back in high school on a CS class.

What do you do when you’re not hacking on LibreOffice ?

I am working on OpenBSD for fun and profit, doing software development and system administration for companies based in Hungary and all over the world.
