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 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 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: webboard. It is a panel applet that enables you to 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

  • Redesign of the UI of gnome-app-install

  • Polishing of the update-manager and the software properties

  • Polishing of the GKSU dialog

  • A lot of bug triage

  • Trying to help people at #ubuntu-de and the German Ubuntu forum

  • Upbackup user interface redesign

  • Podiff shows changed, added or removed strings of two po translation files

Finally I should mention my memebership in the famous blatant errors and awkward grammar team.
