KAI SCHAEFFER
Kai is one of the
important contributors
from Berlin, Germany.
He started by
sponsoring ADempiere
very first physical
conference there,
inviting and paying for
the top names of the
project at that time to
meet in a single room.
Prior to that, his
private company
SCHAEFFER AG has
started to use
ADempiere and made
notable contribution,
via one employee,
Karsten Thiemann with
the migration code.
Kai eventually put his
own C skills to work
resulting in the 342
Installer.
Today he sits as the
Chair of ADempiere
e.V, a non-profit body.
