About me

I am a male student geriatic nurse in his late twenties.

Contributions

I started my OpenSource engagement back in 2003 contributing translations and documentation to the Synaptic package manager. Later I got involved in usability and redesigned the Synaptic interface to its current state. Furthermore I translated the Totem manual and did some minor translation work for the GNOME project.

Because I was low on time and energy I retired from opensource development in 2005 and returned in January 2006: filling a [https://launchpad.net/products/gnome-app-install/+bug/17470 bug report] against gnome-app-install. It was once again about interface issues. I rediscouvered the joy of community based software projects. Starting from this bug report I suggested a [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GnomeAppInstall/ui redesign] of the interface for gnome-app-install. Thankfully Michael Vogt liked my proposal. This is a good place to say once again thanks to Michael Vogt.

Today I am a "co-author" of gnome-app-install, gdebi and update-manager. I even developed an application on my own that can be found in Universe: [http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/utils/webboard webboard]. It is a panel applet that enables you to [http://pimpzkru.de/sebi/webboard/webboard-demo.gif easily paste] your clipboard to a pastebin server. It was my learning python application.

As you can easily guess my main focus is on translation and user interface design.

In May 2006 I was approved as an Ubuntu member. Thanks too all the people who supported me.

Random collection of my work

Finally I should mention my memebership in the famous [https://launchpad.net/people/blatant-and-awkward blatant errors and awkward grammar team].
