Bernhard Rosenkränzer

Bernhard Rosenkränzer (born February 18, 1977) is the founder and main developer of Ark Linux (later merged into OpenMandriva) and a contributor to various other free software projects such as KDE and OpenOffice.org.

His primary interest and work focus is in getting open source and free software ready for the desktop.

He also used to work for ROSA Laboratories, a company delivering their own custom brand of Mandriva Linux for the Russian government.

After leaving Linaro, he turned his side project, an Open Source company called LinDev (short for LINux DEVelopment), into his main business.

LinDev is currently involved with building the Eclipse Foundation's Oniro Embedded operating system and works with Ampere Computing on ARM based Linux servers.
