[Dev] Brian Kirsch joins OSAF staff

[Pieter Hartsook]

OSAF would like to welcome Brian Kirsch, our "go to" person for making 
email happen in Chandler. This includes everything from an architectural 
role in deciding how to integrate email to evaluating existing code for 
communicating with e-mail servers, making fix/build decisions, and 
hooking these to the networking and data repository frameworks. He is 
very excited to be dedicating himself fulltime to open source as the 
“Email Guy” for Chandler.

Brian has worked with a variety of companies including Excite at Home, 
Zaplet, Macrovision, Razorfish, STMicroElectronics, and Nickelodeon. In 
addition to coding, Brian is an accomplished musician who has shared 
bills with Meshell Ndegeocello, Jonathan Richmond, the Rebirth Brass 
Band, Blind Boys of Alabama, and Bonnie Raitt. In November 2003, Brian 
got to live every musician’s fantasy touring with Carlos Santana as his 
opening act.
