KLD - Voluntary work for SHARE Europe

I attended my first SHARE Europe conference in 1982. As all voluntary organisations live from the give and take principle, I soon became active in this organisation and eventually received the golden 10-year service award from the last president of the organisation. During my time with SHARE Europe I was involved in various activities:

• Project Manager for Office Systems Project (4 years).
• White Paper on National Language, Character and Keyboard problems: major contributions to the contents and production of the document (was not possible to do on IBM hardware).
• White Paper on National Language Architecture. This was initiated by me and hence most of the contents is my work.
• Presentations and publications, see publications.
• Member of the Advisory council with varying and overlapping tasks: Director of Publications and Publicity (6years); Editor (6 years); Deputy Requirements Manager (4 years).
• Develop and implement corporate image of SHARE Europe in publications and letter head.
• Member of Executive Board (4 years).
• Development of a VisualBasic program to support creation and handling of requirements. This includes a context sensitive help with full explanation of the requirements process.
