Robert O'Callahan got involved in Mozilla in 1999 when he should have been working on his doctoral thesis. He worked as a volunteer for several years, fixing bugs and implementing features in the layout and rendering core of Gecko, which have helped to make Mozilla's Firefox web browser faster and fully functional. Smooth scrolling, justified text, and multi-column layout are some of his contributions. Currently he spends most of his time on Mozilla's new graphics infrastructure. Robert works for Mozilla full-time as an employee of Novell in New Zealand. | Robert O'Callahan got involved in Mozilla in 1999 when he should have been working on his doctoral thesis.
