Kurt D. Zeilenga

Kurt is the Executive Director of the OpenLDAP Foundation and an Advisor to the OpenLDAP Project. He founded both in the summer in 1998. Kurt served as Chief Architect of the OpenLDAP Project from its inception to January 2007.

Kurt recently noted his primary task left to do within the OpenLDAP Project is make himself obsolete He hopes that others in the project will jump on in as he did some 9 years ago, and make OpenLDAP what they want it to be. While Kurt intends to stay actively involved in the Project, he thinks the Project would benefit from new blood. So, please, jump on in.

Kurt's primary focus is Internet technology and standards development in the areas of distributed information systems, distributed security systems, and network security services. Aside from Kurt's obvious interest in directory technologies, he is interested in the areas of Internet security services, especially as used to secure application-level protocols.

Kurt is an active participant in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). He is authoring and/or editing numerous Internet-Drafts. A few of his drafts have become RFCs. Kurt is currently co-chairing the Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) and vCard and CardDAV (vcarddav) working groups. Kurt is also a member of the LDAP Directorate and Security Directorate.

Kurt is currently a Development Engineer at Isode Limited developing Internet technology and standards, especially in the Directory, Messaging, and Security areas.
