I am a Dipl.-Inf. from the Technical University of Darmstadt, and have obtained a MSc in Computer Science/Telecommunications from the University of Texas at Dallas. I also have a LLB (Hons) from The Open University.

My occupations in the IT world have been broad, with functions embracing support, development, project and product management, as well as marketing. Currently I focus on IT in Education. I am also an Associate Lecturer and Teaching Fellow with The Open University.

Unix/Linux has always been part of my life in IT. I worked extensively with HPUX and solaris and had my first steps with Linux in the middle of the 90s. I have used RedHat and SUSE in the past, but since the release of Hoary, I exclusively use (U|Ku|Edu|Xu)buntu.

== (U|Ku|Edu|Xu)buntu ==

I am interested to contribute my skills and experience wherever it is helpful. Currently I am helping with:
 * answering other users' questions,
 * translating,
 * bug reporting,
 * bug triage
 * and the fixing of bugs.
 * packaging/maintaining
 * KDE4 apps

I would like to be advance to the ranks of MOTU within a reasonable timeframe.

I am an active member of the following launchpad groups:
 * [[https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-helpteam|Ubuntu Support Team]]
 * [[https://launchpad.net/~bugsquad|Ubuntu BugSquad]]
 * [[https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-de.org|kubuntu-de.org]]

 * [[https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-beta-testers|Launchpad Beta Testers]]
 * [[https://launchpad.net/~ichthux-dev|Ichthux Developers]]

I am a member of the [[https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-de.org|kubuntu-de.org]] team and a member of its community council.

## Contributions to the translation of the following UWN into German:

I have also introduced Ubuntu servers at a local College and I am in the process to fully replace the majority of Windows server with Ubuntu. Currently, I have introduced moodle on Ubuntu as virtual learning environment.

## I am developing an achievement and target tracker as a moodle module to help students in their self-assessment.

I have initiated the bug-triage efforts on 5-a-day for kubuntu-de.org.

I was a presenter at the Ontario Linux Fest 2008 with the topic of (K)ubuntu bug triage.

## am interested in contributing to the efforts to make the usage of Ubuntu servers in heterogeneous environments more efficient and easy to administer.

I am maintaining a couple of KDE packages for Kubuntu and Debian and I am also currently the lead developer for a Kubuntu based market-targeted distribution.

=== Short-term and Medium-Term Goals ===
 
## * Translating more Ubuntu howtos and important documentation into German
## * Improving Ubuntu server integration into mixed environment
 * MOTU
 * KDE4 apps
 * Promoting Kubuntu in Southwestern Ontario and neighboring areas
 * Organizing BugJams for local LUG and student clubs
 * Acceptance of Kubuntu-de.org as official LoCo
 * Discovering and exploiting cross-distribution synergies in particular in the area of QA

== Other Open Projects ==

I am involved in [[http://www.pgdp.net/|Distributed Proofreaders]] and [[http://www.gutenberg.org|Project Gutenberg]].

I have started an open source project, which in the future should give schools an alternative to proprietary Information Management System. I hope that this could become one day part of Edubuntu.
