Currently in LibreOffice I continue to maintain the Hebrew translation and pushing towards improving the right-to-left support (helping the programmers to help me).
In 2006, I started to inquire how to make sure right-to-left related changes done with support of the Israeli government are contributed back to
the community. Since then I find my self more and more involved with the project. In 2008 I started to be active in reporting, tracking and verifying bugs while trying to encourage an Israeli community for the project. In 2010 a few others and myself took over the Hebrew translation, which for the first time was in the control of the community.
With that activity ongoing, I happily switched to LibreOffice when TDF was founded. I'm very proud in my first code contribution to LibO: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/libs-core/commit/?id=967ea9dd4d6f2bb501d6a156c2dc3f55428ca2dc

Besides taking part in LibreOffice, I'm also a member of the Debian GNU/Linux project. In Israel, I'm a board member of Hamakor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamakor), an association that aims to increase the awarness and usage of free and open source software.
