Team
The most important member of the WinPilot Development Team is YOU!
We are counting on your feedback
(both positive and negative) to keep improving WinPilot, so that it continues to be the
greatest software you can have in a cockpit.
So far, most of the ideas have been translated into computer code by
Jerry Plaszowiecki of Minden, NV. Jerry is a professional Windows programmer, holds a
Masters Degree in Electronic Engineering, and he spent seven years working as a Software
Design Engineer at Microsoft in Redmond, WA; - two years in the Visual C++ Team, and
four years in the Windows CE Team, where he was responsible for designing and implementing
parts of the Windows CE (now Pocket PC) operating system. Since 1981 Jerry is also a glider pilot with
over 1200 hours flown in gliders so far, and he is a holder of a Gold Badge with three diamonds.
Upon leaving Microsoft in 1997, Jerry bought a new Ash-26E ("MS"), and moved with his family
to Minden, NV, where he started Sierra SkyWare, Inc. for the purpose of utilizing his
Windows programming skills for the benefit of the gliding community worldwide.
It is really difficult to mention all people whose ideas and suggestions made
WinPilot what it is today.
Here are the people whose input had the greatest impact on the program so far
(in no particular order): Philippe De Pechy, Paul Crabb, Ed Johnston, Francois
De Klerk, Quintin Maine, Andy Smielkiewicz, Johannes
and Georg Garrecht, Makoto Ichikawa, Yves Jeanmotte.
