Harald Welte is the chairman of the netfilter/iptables core team.
His main interest in computing has always been networking. In the few time
left besides netfilter/iptables related work, he's writing obscure documents
like the "UUCP over SSL HOWTO" or "A packet's journey through the Linux network
stack". Other kernel-related projects he has been contributing to are random
netowrking hacks, some device driver work and the neighbour cache.
He has been working as an independent IT Consultant working on projects for
various companies ranging from banks to manufacturers of networking gear.
During the year 2001 he was living in Curitiba (Brazil), where he got
sponsored for his Linux related work by Conectiva Inc.
Starting with February 2002, Harald has been contracted part-time by
Astaro AG, who are sponsoring him for his current netfilter/iptables work.
Aside from the Astaro sponsoring, he continues to work as a freelancing kernel
developer and network security consultant.
He licenses his software under the terms of the GNU GPL. Sometimes users of
his software are not compliant with the license, so he started enforcing the
GPL with his gpl-violations.org project.
During the last year, Harald has started development of a free, GPL-licensed
Linux RFID and electronic passport software suite.
Harald is living in Berlin, Germany.
