Holland-Moritz, better known as Wau Holland, was the co-founder of Berlin's famed Chaos Computer Club hacker collective, a group that advocated the free exchange of information on the Internet and increased awareness of privacy issues.

 Internationalization of Engineering Education: Biosystems Engineering at Oklahoma State University
New Holland is an international company with manufacturing facilities in Zedelgem, Belgium and in New Holland, PA. A different company for 1996-1997 was thought desirable, primarily for the purpose of providing the experience of students having to develop working relationships with a new company rather than simply extending those developed by their predecessors.
New Holland was careful not to direct the team toward any particular approach so that the students involved could approach the problem from any desired perspective they might deem appropriate and potentially effective.
Thus the WAU students returned to Wageningen with the impression that New Holland's position was that changes in their equipment, regarding safety, were not needed at this time.
