About Me
- Name: Siegfried-Angel Gevatter Pujals (aka RainCT)
Born 1991 in Germany, living in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalan_Countries Catalonia] since 2000.
- Languages: Catalan, Spanish, English and German.
- Linux user since 2005 (mainly only Ubuntu, but I also installed some other distributions).
Website: [http://eurion.net Catalan] | [http://eurion.eu.org English] | [http://bloc.eurion.net Blog]
Activities
- Contributing to MOTU and maintaining some packages in Debian (see below).
Some bug triaging on [http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu Launchpad], member of [https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-bugcontrol ubuntu-bugcontrol] and Launchpad beta tester.
Active member of Ubuntu's [wiki:CatalanTeam Catalan LoCo Team].
Developing [https://launchpad.net/freevial Freevial] and [wiki:QtTube QtTube], between others (I also created #ubuntu-cat's IRC bot).
Translating websites and programs into Catalan. I recently started contributing to Ubuntu's [https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-l10n-ca Catalan Translators Team].
Development Skills
I started my first website on 2004 with Word (argh!) and have since then learned XHTML, CSS, PHP, a bit of JavaScript and that you should hate IE :D.
I'm also looking into C and C++ since some time, but I haven't made much progress yet (it isn't one of my priorities anyway, at the moment). Around April 2007 I started learning Python, which has now become my favourite language; I also have some experience with PyQt4 (I'm a GNOME user, however). Beside that, of course I also know some bash, and I had a look at Perl but haven't dedicated much time to it neither.

Testimonials
- Siegfried is a very active contributor to the Catalan Ubuntu community, to the degree that he co-developed a free Trivial clone so we could enjoy it at the Ubuntu Gutsy presentation party -- Tsdgeos
Despite his young age, RainCT has been contributing to the CatalanTeam from the beginning: programming the team's IRC bot for #ubuntu-cat, helping the Catalan community through our mailing lists and IRC channel, reporting bugs, updating the team's wiki pages, etc. He's indeed one of the most active members of the CatalanTeam. -- AlexMuntada DateTime(2007-10-25T07:26:35Z)
Siegfried is a very young but resourceful man, extremely active in our LoCo CatalanTeam. He was among the first people on IRC at #ubuntu-cat and one of the most collaborative people there. Also, he answer everything he can on our mailing list, does not miss a single release or install party and is a pretty good Ubuntu evangelist. I was shocked when he told me his intentions to become a MOTU, but he has already started to package.-- RafaelCarreras (Catalan LoCo Team Contact) DateTime(2007-10-25T14:39:40Z)
I've worked with Siegfried in the creation of the python game Freevial for the community parties. I've worked with a lot of development teams and I know it's hard to find people with so much knowledge and energy (some times too strict for his age). He can be one of the greatest developers if he finds his space to run. -- CarlesOriol DateTime(2007-10-25T19:28:00Z)
