About me
Bram Moolenaar is the creator and maintainer of Vim, a popular text editor that is available for almost every computer system. It comes installed with every Mac and Linux computer.
After studying electronics and inventing parts of digital copying machines Bram decided that creating open source software was more useful and fun, so he worked on that exclusively for several years.
He currently works for Google, one of the few companies that embrace open source software.
In between he did volunteer work at a project in Uganda and is still helping poor children there through the ICCF foundation (www.iccf.nl).
